2. Heart rate is influenced by electrical impulses from the brain.

(a) State the name of the type of cell that conducts electrical impulses to the heart.

_________________________________________________ [1]

(b) The electrical activity of the heart can be recorded on an ECG.

Fig. on side shows an ECG of one heartbeat.

(i) Table below shows how the electrical activity, during one
heartbeat, corresponds to the opening and closing of the valves in the
heart. Complete Table using the words ‘open’ and ‘closed’.
Table

(c) Fig. below shows the ECG of an athlete before and during exercise.

Fig

(i) Calculate the heart rate, in beats per minute, before exercise begins. Show your
working and give your answer to the nearest whole number.

.....................................beats per minute [2]

(ii) Using Fig above, describe how the electrical activity of the heart during exercise

differs from the electrical activity before exercise begins.

(b) Fig. below shows the pressure of blood flowing through different blood vessels as it
travels around the body. (Venules are narrow vessels that connect capillaries to veins.)

Fig
(i) Blood vessels X in Fig. above supply blood to skin-surface capillaries and have a role
in maintaining a constant internal temperature.
