Pronghorns are similar to antelopes and are native to North America. They live in open areas of grasslands. The photograph shows a pronghorn. These pronghorns can run long distances at speeds of 90 km per hour. Explain how the heart rate and ventilation rate of a pronghorn are increased to enable it to run long distances at high speeds.

Answer:

An explanation that includes four of the following points:
- increase in (blood) carbon dioxide / decrease in (blood) pH \} (1)
- detected by chemoreceptors which send (more) impulses to \{medulla (oblongata) / CVC\} (1)
- which send impulses to \{SAN / intercostal / diaphragm / breathing\} muscles (1)
- SAN causes more \{electrical impulses / depolarization / waves of excitation\} (to spread over walls of atria) (1)
- \{cardiac muscle contraction / heart muscle
contraction / systole\} occurs more frequently (1)
- more frequent contraction of \{intercostal muscles / diaphragm\} (1)
