What else can I help you with?
What does an electrocardiogram measure?
The electrical activity of the heart over time.
The severity of an electrical shock is dependant upon what three things?
The severity of an electrical shock is dependent upon three things. Location or the proximity to the source. The second is amperage, the duration of the exposure and the pathway in the body. The third is the distance of the source.
Why does an ecg only trace recording of some electrical activity?
An ECG (electrocardiogram) only traces recording of electrical activity because it specifically measures the electrical signals generated by the heart as it contracts and relaxes. These signals are produced by the depolarization and repolarization of cardiac muscle cells, which initiate and coordinate heartbeats. While the ECG provides valuable information about the heart's rhythm, rate, and overall electrical function, it does not capture mechanical activity or other physiological processes occurring in the heart or body. Thus, it serves as a diagnostic tool primarily for assessing cardiac electrical activity.
What is the difference between waveform from electrocardiogram and electromyogram?
An echocardiogram gives a visual picture of the heart muscle and chambers. An electrocardiogram (EKG) produces a graph showing the electrical impulses of the heart's contractions. It shows various wave forms of the electrical strength and pattern.
What are the four main types of electrical injuries?
The four main types of electrical injuries are: Electrical Shock: This occurs when an electrical current passes through the body, potentially affecting the heart and other organs. Burns: Electrical burns can result from contact with electrical sources, leading to severe tissue damage both at the entry and exit points of the current. Arc Burns: These occur when high-voltage electricity jumps from one conductor to another, causing burns without direct contact. Electrocution: This refers to fatal electrical injuries, typically resulting from high-voltage exposure that leads to death.
What is an aberrant conduction?
An aberrant conduction is a heart condition where the electrical stimulus travels via an abnormal pathway.
In coronary conduction the electrical impulse is released at what level of the coronary electrical system?
With Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, the heart has an extra nerve, or "accessory pathway" that electrically connects the _____ to the _____.
What is Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome?
An abnormal, rapid heart rhythm, due to an extra pathway for the electrical impulses to travel from the atria to the ventricles.
What is the name for extra pathway in the heart?
While the question seems a bit unclear, in reference to electricle pathways: an extra pathway in the heart is termed an "accessory" pathway.
What is the function of the bundle of HIS?
The bundle of HIS is responsible for conducting electrical signals from the atria to the ventricles in the heart. This pathway allows for coordinated contraction of the heart chambers, ensuring efficient blood pumping.
Why should we not touch the electrical appliance connected in a circuit with wet hands?
We will provide the electrical circuit with a pathway through our body to the ground. The shock could be large enough to kill us, or disrupt the rhythm of our heart beats.
What is happening during a complete heart block?
Complete heart block is where the electrical impulses from the SA node of the heart cannot reach the ventricles along the normal pathway. Instead the atrial contract from the SA node singles and the ventricles contract from the ventricular cells
Where does the coronary pathway take the blood?
The coronary pathway takes blood to the heart.Related Information:Coronary arteries surround the heart and provided the muscles of the heart with blood.
What is the sound of your heart beating?
The atria and ventricles work together, alternately contracting and relaxing to pump blood through your heart. The electrical system of your heart is the power source that makes this possible. Your heartbeat is triggered by electrical impulses that travel down a special pathway through the heart.
What characterizes the normal operation of the heart?
each part contracts in a specific order. Contraction of the muscle is triggered by an electrical impulse. These electrical impulses travel through specialized cells that form a conduction system. Following this pathway ensures that contractions will
Describe the sequence of events associated with the proper functoning of the peacemaker?
A pacemaker is an electronic device implanted to regulate the heart after heart attacks. The neurons from the hosts body signal the pacemaker to keep the heart beating at 60-80 bpm.ÊÊ
Which transportation pathway carries blood from the heart to the lungs and from the lungs to the heart?
Pulmonary circulation :)
