As a wave of electrical depolarization moves parallel to the direction of a lead if it moves towards the positive pole of the lead a?

POSITIVE


The portion of the ECG that corresponds to atrial depolarization is the?

The portion of the ECG that corresponds to atrial depolarization is called the P wave. The P wave is the first wave on the ECG.


What is the ECG wave that results from the depolarization of the ventricle?

the P wave


The p wave corresponds to depolarization of the muscle fibers of the?

The p wave on a heart telemetry monitor represents the depolarization of the atria of the heart.


The p wave of the electrocardiogram is a signal from?

The P wave on ECG corresponds to electrical depolarization of the atria. It should be positive in lead II and negative in aVR when the P wave originates in the sinoatrial node.


Does the p wave in an ekg indicate atrial depolarization?

No it does not. Atrial repolarization is generally not visible on the telemetry strip because it happens at the same time as ventricular depolarization (QRS complex). The P wave represents atrial DEpolarization (and atrial systole). Atrial repolarization happens during atrial diastole (and ventricular systole).


What does P wave forms reflect?

A P wave reflects atrial depolarization.


What contraction of the atria results from which wave of depolarization on the ECG tracing?

P wave


What part of an ecg do atria contract?

Atrial depolarization occurs at the P wave. The atrial contraction occurs at the peak of the wave at the influx of calcium ions to prolong depolarization.


What type wave matter moves at right angles to the direction of the wave?

Water moves up and down as the wave moves horizontally. The website below has examples of transverse waves.


Is depolarization the resting state of the p wave?

Yes.


A wave that moves back down the beach under the next wave?
