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
1 answer:
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.

An aquarium has a volume of 2.75 cubic meters. How many liters of water can the aquarium hold?
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

2,750 liters of water

Explanation:

A cubic meter or 1 m³ is equivalent to 1,000 liters. Knowing this you can covert 2.75 m³ to liters.

2.75 m^{3} \times \dfrac{1,000L}{1m^{3}}= 2.75 \times 1,000L = 2,750 L

Just remember if you're using this method that always put the value with the unit that you want to convert as the denominator so you can cancel them out.
