- Which of these accounts for the similarity between the P wave duration and the QRS complex duration despite the ventricle being much larger than the atria? Group of answer choices The His-Purkinje system has a faster conduction velocity than the atrial system The atria contain the same volume of blood as the ventricles Gravity increases the ventricular conduction velocity The rate of phase 4 depolarization is similar in all the conducting cells of the heartarrow_forwardDuring atrial fibrillation: O A. The EKG shows no discernable P wave. B. There is a noticeable decrease in the regularity of beating. O C. The ventricle continues to maintain cardiac output. O D. None of the above,arrow_forward17, The P-wave of the ECG is generated by the repolarization of the SA-Node. A. trueB. falsearrow_forward
- Repolarization of ventricular myocardiocytes is caused by ______ the cells through voltage-gated channels. A potassium entering B potassium leaving C sodium entering D sodium leaving E calcium enteringarrow_forwardYou are learning to read electrocardiograms. You know that the patient you are examining has a pathology affecting the depolarization of his ventricles, therefore you're looking for a change in what portion of his EKG? The P wave O The T wave O The QRS complex "The P wave" or "The T wave" but not "The QRS complex". None of these would be alteredarrow_forwardWhat is happening during the phase labeled with the arrow? Atrial depolarization Ventricular depolarization Ventricular repolarization or AV valve closurearrow_forward
- Cardiac output is: A. The volume of blood pumped over a period of time. B. The stroke volume times the peripheral resistance. OC. Governed by the Nernst equation. D. All of the above. O E. None of the above.arrow_forwardDuring atrial fibrillation: A. The EKG shows an exaggerated P wave. B. There is a noticeable increase in the regularity of beating. OC. The ventricle undergoes reentrant refractoriness. OD. None of the above. OE. All of the above.arrow_forwardAs the ventricular pressure increases, the AV closes. This then result into abrief period of time when the semilunar valves and AV valves are both closed.Describe the relationship of pressure in the ventricle to atrium and aortaduring this time. What is this phase called?arrow_forward
- This abnormal ECG indicates: A ventricular fibrillation B premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) C ST-segment elevation D premature atrial contractions (PACS) hahaharrow_forwardThe period of ejection: A. begins with closure of the AV-valves and ends with opening of the AV- valves B. begins with opening of the aortic valve and ends with closure of the aortic valve C. begins with the P-wave and ends with the QRS-complex D. begins with the QRS-complex and ends with the T-wavearrow_forwardGive the 2 reasons you are able to feel a pulse. When do you note the diastolic number?arrow_forward
