Hello!! The answer would be A - The SA node. It is known as the "pacemaker" because it initiates the heart's rhythmic contractions. I hope I helped!! Have a great day. :)

Answer:

The correct answer is "the SA node".

Explanation:

The heart beat is triggered by electrical impulses and among them, the sinoatrial node (SA node) is the one that receives the name of the “pacemaker” of the heart. The impulse of the SA node begins with a bundle in the right atrium, which spreads through the walls of the atria and causes a contraction. The SA node is the principal factor that affects the rate and rhythm of the heartbeat.

Capsular hydrostatic pressure is the chief force pushing water and solutes out of the blood and across the filtration membrane.
netineya [11]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Capsular hydrostatic pressure (CHP) is a back-pressure that opposes filtration. As the filtrate is forced into the capsular space, it meets 2 forms of resistance: the wall of the capsule and the fluid that has already filled the renal tubule.

This pressure drives fluid out of the capillary (i.e., filtration), and is highest at the arteriolar end of the capillary and lowest at the venular end.

Summarize how the climate of the Miocene epoch impacted the evolution of hominins
andrezito [222]

Answer with Explanation:

The Miocene epoch was deeply characterized by<em> seasonal conditions</em>, such as having more colder winters in the northern areas.

In the <em>late Miocene</em>,<u> open vegetation system expanded. </u>These included<em> grasslands, woodlands and shrublands.</em> As a result, more primates inhabited the area. Several habitats became diverse from each other, thus allowing the species to adapt, including their locomotion. For example, the species who used to live on trees, turn towards living on land (terrestrial life). Certain animals also came about such as <em>pigs, giraffes, monkeys, etc.</em> Scavenging hominins also scattered. When it comes to hominins, a major type of locomotion evolved called "bipedalism." <u>This allowed the hominins to walk using the lower limbs (two feet).</u>
