Record Pointers Specifically points to Records stored within some data Units.

Block Pointers undoubtedly points to the entire Blocks within the Memory.

In B+ trees the Leaf nodes are nothing but the Blocks pointing to the next node(block) with the help o fBlock pointer and the same time pointing to the Records with 'm' record pointers , which represents it's Degree 'm'.

(Partially agree with you on )Keys and Records can be same.

Difference between an Activation Record and Program Control Block
What is the difference between an Activation Record and Program Control Block? Could anyone define each of them first, and then describe how they are different.
