high H+, high temperature.
7. (a) Cardiac muscle.
(b) It allows the cardiac muscles to
contract as a single unit.
8. (a) True
(b) False. ANF decreases blood pressure.

gland: Phylum Hemichordata. E.g. Balanoglossus.
12. (a) Electric synapse:
The membranes of pre- and post-synaptic neurons are nearer. Faster impulse
transmission.
Chemical synapse: There is a fluid filled space (synaptic cleft) between the
presynaptic neuron and postsynaptic neuron.
