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 enhancer may increase the frequency of transcription initiation for its associated gene when… (indicate true or false for eac
Olenka [21]

Answer:

it is located 1000 nucleotides upstream of the gene’s core promoter - true

it is located 1000 nucleotides downstream of the gene’s core promoter- true

it is in the gene’s coding region - False

Explanation:

These enhancers are located 50 or more kilobases from the promoter they controlled upstream from a promoter, downstream from a promoter within an intron, or even downstream from the <u>final exon</u> of a gene which can be thousands of bp away from the gene's core promoter and can also occur thousands of nucleotides away from the gene's core promoter needing the activity of a DNA -bending protein that binds to the enhancer changing the shape of the DNA and allow interactions between the activators and transcription factors.

Compare what ways are planets and<br> dwarf planets similar.
Cerrena [4.2K]
So the similarity of the planets and the dwarf planets are they are both mostly round because they have sufficient gravity to flatten their own surfaces into a sphere. The differences are that planets are big enough to clear the whole region of space where they orbit the sun whereas dwarf planets do not.

tester [92]

Answer:

The carbon cycle is nature's way of reusing carbon atoms, which travel from the atmosphere into organisms in the Earth and then back into the atmosphere over and over again. Most carbon is stored in rocks and sediments, while the rest is stored in the ocean, atmosphere, and living organisms
