Question
Answer
P WAVE   show
🗑
QRS COMPLEX   show
🗑
T WAVE   show
🗑
show caused by the greater muscle mass of the ventricles and hence greater number of cellular depolarizations  
🗑
show occurs during the activation of the septal fascicle and the depolarization of the interventricular sseptum  
🗑
R WAVE SPIKE   show
🗑
show useful for the clinician in diagnosing heart attacks (MI), conduction abnormalities, arrhythmias, toxicity and electrolyte imbalances  
🗑
show NODAL CELLS, SPECIALIZED CONDUCTING FIBERS, CONTRACTILE OR MYOCARDIAL CELLS  
🗑
show involved in generating the internal action potentials of the heart. They are localized in 2 areas of the heart, the SA and AV node.  
🗑
2. SPECIALIZED CONDUCTING FIBERS   show
🗑
show INTRINSIC CONDUCTION SYSTEM OF THE HEART  
🗑
show makes up over 90 percet of the heart and is responsible for muscle contraction and the pumping of blood  
🗑
ELECTRICAL AXIS OF THE HEART   show
🗑
ELECTRICAL AXIS RANGE   show
🗑
LEFT AXIS DEVIATION   show
🗑
show when electrical axis is greater than +90 degrees and can be caused by right ventricular hypertrophy, an anterior-lateral myocardial infarction, pulmonary emboli, or normally occurs in tall thin adults  
🗑
show represents the time it takes electrical impulse to spread from the beginning of atria depolarization to the beginning of ventricular depolarization and is normally 0.12 to 0.20 seconds  
🗑
show calculated from the beginning of the P wave to the first Q wave deflection in the QRS complex.  
🗑
show may be caused by longer delay at the AV node, hypothyroidism, or various drugs.  
🗑
show suggests that the impulse has originated in areas other than the SA node.  
🗑
PR SEGMENT   show
🗑
show if longer, AV node block  
🗑
QRS DURATION   show
🗑
QRS DURATION   show
🗑
QRS - prolonged   show
🗑
show is a measurement of the duration of the action potential and thus the refractory period in the ventricles and is calculated from the beginning fo the Q wave to the end of the T wave  
🗑
QT INTERVAL   show
🗑
ST SEGMENT   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
