As the axon repolarizes Na+ channels open to bring the cell from a resting state -70mv to -55mv and grater (grater being -55mv through 0mv).
During an action potential, repolarization occurs as a result of the opening of voltage-gated potassium channels. These channels allow potassium ions to flow out of the cell, leading to a decrease in membrane potential back towards the resting state. Repolarization is essential for resetting the neuron and allowing it to fire another action potential.
It is on page 374 of your lab book assuming this is the same question that came out Lab 28 in the Ninth Edition of Seeley's Anatomy & Physiology. The atrial repolarization occurs during ventricualr depolarization and is masked by the larger QRS complex. I actually did my homework :)
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.
Almost as soon as the depolarization wave begins, voltage-gated potassium channels open in response to the increase in membrane potential, allowing potassium ions to move out of the cell. This efflux of potassium ions causes repolarization of the cell membrane by restoring the negative resting membrane potential.
The process of depolarization and repolarization is called an action potential. During depolarization, the cell's membrane potential becomes more positive, while during repolarization, the membrane potential returns to its resting state.
The atrial repolarization occurs during the QRS complex of the ECG but is obscured by the ventricle depolarization.
The T wave on an electrocardiogram (ECG) actually represents ventricular repolarization, not atrial repolarization. Atrial repolarization occurs during the QRS complex and is typically not visible on the ECG due to the larger electrical activity of the ventricles. The T wave reflects the recovery phase of the ventricles after they have contracted and is crucial for understanding cardiac function.
Repolarization is the phase in the cardiac action potential when the cell membrane potential returns to its resting state. It generally occurs at a relatively consistent pace in healthy cardiac cells. However, factors like ion channel dysfunction or certain medications can affect the speed of repolarization.

yes
The wave indicating atrial repolarization wave is hidden by the QRS complex. Ventricular repolarization is indicated by the T wave.

Depolarization is the process where the membrane potential becomes less negative, moving towards zero or even becoming positive. This occurs when sodium ions rush into the cell. Repolarization is the return of the membrane potential back to its resting state, following depolarization, usually through the efflux of potassium ions from the cell.

Precordial repolarization disturbance is a heart condition that can be determined though an EKG. Precordial has to do with the area above your heart and repolarization has to do with the heart muscle preparing itself for it's next beat.
It represents the repolorization of the ventricles. The ventricles must reset electrically after contracting. In a normal Sinus Rhythm the p wave comes first. Then the QRS complex which is the largest part of the heartbeat will come less than .2 seconds later. The QRS complex usually lasts less than .12 seconds. The final bump is (usually) the T wave.
