Describe the physiological events occurring in the heart muscle represented by each ECG component (the P wave, QRS complex, and

T wave). Why does the QRS complex have the largest amplitude?
Biology

Sauron [17]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

  • <em>The P wave</em><em> represents the atrial depolarization (sum of the right and left atriums) and the atrial contraction.</em> In normal circumstances, the P wave is smooth and rounded (<2.5 mm) and no more than 0.12 seconds in duration. It's the first positive deflection (you can see this in the image I added)
  • <em>QRS complex</em> can include the Q wave, R wave, and S wave, but there are exceptions. <em>It represents the electrical impulse through the ventricles causing the ventricular depolarization.</em> <em>Its amplitude is the largest because ventricles are the chambers with the largest mass in the heart </em>and it has a duration of 0.06-0.10 seconds in adults.
  • <em>The T wave</em> is the positive deflection that follows the QRS complex, it represents the ventricular repolarization. It is slightly asymmetric (peak closer to its end). Normally this wave follows the QRS complex's direction, if this doesn't happen, it's reflecting a cardiac pathology.

Juliette [100K]

The generic name of poisonous chemicals, very often used in commercial agriculture that are used to kill organisms that either reduce the yield of crops or are harmful to animals are pesticides.

Pesticides are the chemicals used to kill the pests affecting the growth and yield of the crops. Pesticide is a broad term covering various small terms according to the pest being killed. For example insecticide, nematicide, avicide, rodenticide, bactericide, etc. Some chemicals used as pesticides are boric acid, Acephate, Deet, Propoxur, glyphosate, etc.

Commercial agriculture means growing of crops so as to sell them in the market to be utilized by the wide population of any area. Any crop can be grown at the commercial level. These crops do not reach the customers directly by the farmers, instead they are sold to whole-sellers first.

How does killing whales affect the food chain?
sukhopar [10]

Whales play an important role in stabilizing the aquatic food chain and reproduction of other species.

As more whales are killed the food distribution in the ocean becomes destabilized and causes changes in the food supply of many other kinds of marine life.

Whales are vital to the food chain, stabilising food flow and maintaining a healthy ocean.

As such, the rapidly decreasing whale population will have major effects on the ocean's ecosystem.

Believe it or not, whale poop also serves quite an important purpose to the ecosystem.

Inga [223]

A pond organism that is unicellular, contains membrane-bound organelles and possesses a flagellum is a PROTISTA. It is a unicellular kingdom.

The Protista kingdom is composed of eukaryotic single-celled unicellular organisms.

Flagellated protists are microorganisms having a tail-like projection known as flagellum.

The flagellum is a structure used for motion, thereby, in general,  flagellated protists are found in moist environments (e.g., ponds, fresh-water, etc).
