1 (a) Able to state the importance of septum
Answer

P1: The septum prevents the oxygenated blood in left side of the 1
blood from mixing with the deoxygenated blood in the right 2
side of the heart.
1
P2 : This is to ensure that the enough amount of oxygen is
supplied to the body cells.
(b) Able to explain how the artificial pacemaker works.
Answer

P1: The artificial pacemaker generates small amount of 1

electrical
charges.
1
P2: The electrical charges stimulate the nerve impulses to be
transmitted to the both atrium.
1
P3: This cause both atria to contract simultaneously 4
1
P4: The contraction of atria causes high pressure of blood in the
atria
1
P5: The impulses generated by sinoatrial node (SA node) reach
the atrioventricular node (AV node)
1
P6: The AV node ensure that all blood in from the atria has
entered the ventricles
1
P7: The AV node relays the impulses to the bundle of His and
the Purkinje fibres
1
P8: The impulses than reach the apex of heart
1
P9: The ventricles contract and cause the blood pressure to
increase
1
P10: Blood is pumped out of the heart
