Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Biological rhythms exist in plants, animals, and humans. In humans, these biorhythms, along with internal and external factors, affect sleep. The most familiar rhythm is the day-night, 24-hour circadian rhythm cycle. Circadian rhythms influence patterns of biological and behavioral functions. Some creatures are diurnal, or primarily active during the day, whereas others are nocturnal, with most of their activity during the night.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Polysomnography is the recording of brain waves and other physiologic variables, such as muscle activity and eye movements, during sleep. The reticular activating system (RAS) receives sensory impulses from the spinal cord and relays motor impulses to the thalamus. The circadian rhythms influence patterns of biological and behavioral functions. An electroencephalogra m is used to record seizure activity in the brain.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
