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

the P wave


Is the left ventricle the first to depolarize?

No, the right ventricle is first to depolarize, that is if you're talking about ventricular depolarization (the QRS complex). If not, then it's the right atrium (atrial depolarization, P wave).


The ventricle contraction of the heart occurs iummediately after depolarization of the?

What wave of the EKG occurs during depolarization of the ventricle?

QRS


What is atrial repolarization indicated by?

The atrial repolarization occurs during the QRS complex of the ECG but is obscured by the ventricle depolarization.


How is depolarization in a hair cell different from depolarization in a typical neuron?

Depolarization in a hair cell is triggered by mechanical stimulation, such as sound waves or movement, while depolarization in a typical neuron is triggered by chemical signals.


Is depolarization the resting state of the p wave?

No, depolarization is not the resting state of the P wave. Depolarization is the process where the heart muscle contracts in response to an electrical signal. The P wave represents atrial depolarization, the electrical activity that triggers the contraction of the atria in the heart.


What is an antonym for polarization?

Depolarization


What ion channel enables depolarization?

Voltage-gated sodium channels enable depolarization in excitable cells by allowing an influx of sodium ions, which leads to the rapid depolarization phase of an action potential.


The greater influx of sodium ions results in what of the membrane?

The greater influx of sodium ions results in membrane depolarization. This is because sodium ions carry a positive charge, which leads to a decrease in the membrane potential towards zero or a positive value.


The QRS complex in an electrocardiogram results from?

An Electrocardiogram of a single heart beat shows three distinct waves. These are the P, QRS and T Waves. The QRS wave (normally the largest spike) in the electrocardiogram, is that of the ventricles depolarizing and contracting.


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.
