What else can I help you with?
Atrial repolarization coincides in time with?
the ventricular depolarization, which masks the atrial repolarization wave on the electrocardiogram. This is because the QRS complex is much larger than the atrial repolarization wave and overlaps with it, making it difficult to distinguish on the ECG.
What does P wave forms reflect?
P wave forms reflect atrial depolarization in the heart, specifically the spread of electrical activity through the atria causing them to contract. This is the initial wave seen on an electrocardiogram (ECG) tracing.
What transmission of the depolarization wave along the neurons membrane?
Action potential
Immediately before the P wave?
The electrical milestone event that occurs at the P wave of the cardiac cycle of the EKG is atrial depolarization. The upward stroke is right atrial depolarization, and the downward stroke is left atrial depolarization. Normally, this lasts for no more than 0.11 sec.
What is The part of a sound wave that you hear as loudness?
Amplitude. As the amplitude of the sound wave increases, the sound becomes louder.
In an ecg pattern the p wave is caused by what?
depolarization of atrial muscle fibers
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.
The T wave corresponds to the repolarization of the muscle fibers of the?
Ventricles
The T wave in a electrocardiogram results from?
Repolarization of ventricular muscle fibers.
Depolarization of the atria corresponds directly to the EKG's?
P wave
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.
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.
Why is the R wave taller than the P wave on the ECG graph cycle?
The QRS complex is normally larger than the P Wave because depolarization of the larger muscle mass of the ventricles generates more voltage than does depolarization of the smaller muscle mass of the atria
Which event is most significant in initiating the wave of depolarization in a cell?
diffusion of Na+ into the muscle fiber
T wave corresponds to re polarization of the muscle fiber of the?
Relaxed
What does depolarization of the heart mean?
It is a positive wave in the hearts muscle cells, the process of electrical discharge and the flow of electrical activity.
What do the letters PQRST represent?
P, Q, R, S and T each represent a wave of the electrocardiogram (ECG). The waves, and the ECG in general, confer a graphic representation of the hearth's electric activity. The ECG of a healthy person usually contains three waves, called the P wave, the QRS complex and the T wave. The P wave corresponds to the electric depolarization of the auricles, the QRS complex corresponds to the electric depolarization of the ventricles and the repolarization of the auricles, and the T wave corresponds to the electric repolarization of the ventricles. A complete period of an ECG (that is, the P, QRS, and T waves) represents the electrical activity of the heart for one pulse.
