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]2 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.

Which of the following terms describes the movement of water from the surface to the atmosphere?
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The answer is evaporation.

Explanation:

Runoff is not right because runoff is water that hits the surface of the earth, then runs down into natural bodies of water. It is not condensation either. That is because condensation is when cool water vapor comes into contact with humid, warm air causes water droplets to appear on the surface of what is containing the cool water vapor. Finally, precipitation is when water comes down from the atmosphere to the surface of the earth, therefore this is incorrect. Evaporation however is when water from the surface of the earth turns into water vapor and goes into the atmosphere. Therefore it is the right answer.

Chromosome duplication occurs for the beginning of which process? select all that apply.
Vladimir [108]

The image shows the process of mitosis. The replication of DNA happens at prophase of the mitosis process. This results in the duplication of the chromosomes This is followed by the segregation and division of the duplicated chromosomes into the two daughter cells. The same applies to the meiosis process where the DNA replication and duplication are followed in the same manner as mitosis. Hence the duplication of chromosomes happen at the beginning of both mitosis and meiosis processes.

An experiment is done on 90 people to test their vitamin D levels: 30 are given vitamin D tablets, 30 are told to spend 15 minut
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

The control group: the group of people with no supplements and kept inside.

The dependent variable: Vitamin D level in all groups.

The independent variable: the source of vitamin D (sun or tablets)

Explanation:

The control group of any experiment is the group of subjects that did not receive any type of treatment or did not manipulate by the independent variable. Here the group of 30 people that kept inside and did not get supplements is the control group.

The independent variable is a variable that directly affects the dependent variable by a change in the independent variable. In this experiment, the sunlight and vitamin D tablets are independent variables that affect the vitamin D level in people.

The dependent variable is a variable that is affected by the independent variable or depends on the independent variable, vitamin level is the dependent variable.
