Determine whether each statement correctly describes the myocardial action potential and the pacemaker potential. 1. Because the

pacemaker potential occurs during systole, it can also be called systolic potential. (Click to select) 2. The pacemaker potential is the relatively slow, spontaneous depolarization in the SA node. (Click to select) 3. Myocardial cells produce their own action potentials after being stimulated by action potentials originating in the SA node. (Click to select) 4. Myocardial action potentials are characterized by a spike and then slow depolarization. (Click to select)

Answer:

1. False

2. True

3. True

4. False

Explanation:

In mammals, the contraction of the heart muscle is caused by pacemaker cells localized within the sinoatrial (SA) node. These cells rhythmically generate slow electrically-induced action potentials due to their slow rate of depolarization. The pacemaker cells generate the action potentials that propagate through the heart and trigger the contraction of myocyte cells (i.e., myocytes simply conduct the action potential waves). The slow depolarization of pacemaker cells occurs during diastole, i.e., during the period of relaxation of the heart muscle.

True or false: Most muscles contain a combination of all three muscle types, slow oxidative, fast oxidative, and fast glycolytic
kkurt [141]

Thanks to what we know about muscles and the fibers they contain, we can confirm that the statement in the question is in fact true.

Muscle is a type of tissue which due to coordinated systems that make up their composition, have the ability to contract. This ability allows for greater efficiency. In humans, the muscle systems are classified into three kinds:

  1. Cardiac muscle
  2. Skeletal muscle
  3. Smooth muscle

Despite the different classifications and functions of each muscle type, each of these muscles contains a combination of three types of muscle fibers, which are the fibers listed in the question:

  1. Slow oxidative
  2. Fast oxidative
  3. Fast glycolytic.

Which of the following is/are true?
Softa [21]

Answer: Only Options A, C and E are correct

A) Sympatric speciation is best described as a random event that disrupts the allele frequencies in a population

C) Sympatric speciation does not require geographic isolation.

E) Sympatric speciation can be due to sexual(mate) selection

Explanation:

Sympatric speciation is a random or naturally occurring event whereby organisms of the same species:

> live in the same territory or nearby territories ( i.e not living in isolation)

> DO NOT interbreed, but select a sexual mate from a much diverse territory which results in an uneven gene flow or disruption of alleles among the population of same species of the parents organisms.
