Answer:

a. Absent p wave is present in atrial fibrillation.

b. Abnormally long QRS complex is present in right or left bundle branch block.

c. Abnormally long PR interval is present in first degree heart block.

d. extra QRS complexes are present in abnormal pacemaker or abnormal conducted beat.

Explanation:

By reading the ECGS we can fine a number of abnormalities by simply locating problems in P, QRS, T waves, PR intervals and ST segments.

Absent P wave in an ECG represents Atrial fibrillation or sinoatrial arrest. Atrial fibrillation is an abnormal heart rhythm  also know as arrhythmia characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atrial chambers of the heart.

Abnormally long QRS complex represents Right or left bundle branch block, hyperkalemia, drug induced or abnormal ventricular rhythm.

Abnormally long PR interval represents heart block. The PR interval reflects impulse conduction from the atria to the ventricles is normal. A long PR interval  indicates a slowing of conduction between the atria and ventricles, usually due to slow conduction through the atrioventricular node (AV node). This is known as first degree heart block.

Extra QRS complexes represents abnormal pacemaker conductivity.

Answer: The question is not arranged well,below is the correct arrangement;

You are presented with a stack of ECGs on your first day of your cardiology rotation and are given a instruction: "Read them." As you progress through the pile, you note the following abnormalities. Explain from where in the heart or cardiac conduction system each abnormality might have come;

a. Absent p waves

a. Abnormally long QRS complex

b. Abnormally long P-R interval

c. Extra QRS complexes.

Explanation: This indicated a problem in the sinoatrial node, as it is not generating the depolarization that spreads through the atria to lead to the P wave.

An ECG ( electrocardiogram) is a test that measures the electrical activity of the heart to show whether the heart is working normally or not.

What’s an example of a body surface area formula
frosja888 [35]
The most commonly used formula now is that of Mosteller, published in 1987 in The New England Journal of Medicine. According to Mosteller's "simplified calculation of body-surface area In metric terms" the body surface area = the square root of product of the weight in kg times the height in cm divided by 3600.

Masseter:
elena-s [515]

Answer:

The correct option is : d. all of the above statements are true

Explanation:

The masseter is a quadrilateral-shaped thick muscle, found only in the mammals. It is one of the muscles of mastication and is particularly very strong in the herbivores, as it used to facilitate chewing plant matter.

This muscle is composed of- superficial head and deep head.

The masseter muscle arises on the zygomatic arch and on the maxillary process of the zygomatic bone.

Whereas, the muscle inserts on the angle and ramus of the mandible.

The anterior division of mandibular division (V3) of the trigeminal nerve innervates the masseter muscle.

Therefore, all of the statements given are true.
