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).
Which chamber of the heart pumps blood through the aorta to the body?
It comes from the left ventricle out through the aorta.
Which chamber or the heart does the aorta attach to?
left ventricle
What are the four ventricles of the ventricular system?
the different types of ventricles are the left ventricle and the right ventricle.
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?
purkinje fibers
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.
The greater influx of sodium ions results in what of the membrane?
depolarization
What is depolarization of a neurotransmitter?
Depolarization stimulates the release of the neuro-transmitter from the terminal end of the neuron.
What molecules cause polarization and depolarization?
Sodium ions cause depolarization and potassium ions cause repolarization.
What is an antonym for polarization?
Depolarization
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.
What is a non - Depolarization?
Non depolarization means the muscle relaxant effect will stay in the body. needs to reverse with prostigmine and atropine.
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).
