• A. Exocytosis
• B. Endocytosis
• C. Phagocytosis
• D. Pinocytosis

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: A) Exocytosis is the process by which cells expel waste products or other substances by fusing a vesicle containing the waste with the cell membrane, releasing its contents outside the cell. This process is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis by removing waste products from the cell. B) Endocytosis is the process by which cells take in substances by engulfing them in a vesicle formed from the cell membrane. This process is the opposite of exocytosis and is used to bring substances into the cell. C) Phagocytosis is a type of endocytosis where cells engulf solid particles or other cells to form a vesicle called a phagosome. This process is used by immune cells to engulf and destroy pathogens. D) Pinocytosis is a type of endocytosis where cells engulf fluids and dissolved solutes. This process allows cells to take in nutrients and

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Sinoatrial (SA) node. The SA node, also known as the heart's natural pacemaker, is responsible for generating the electrical impulses that regulate the heartbeat. These impulses initiate each heartbeat by causing the atria to contract. The other options, Aorta, Pulmonary veins, and Coronary arteries, are important structures in the cardiovascular system but are not directly responsible for generating the electrical impulses that regulate the heartbeat.
