In a standard ECG, one of the following functions of its components is not correctly interpreted.
- A P is the contraction of only left atria
- B QRS complex represents ventricular contraction
- C T is the end of systole
- D P is the contraction of both atria
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) P is the contraction of only left atria
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(A) P is the contraction of only left atria,
ECG or Electrocardiogram records the electrical signals from heart to check for various heart conditions. The waves on ECG include P wave, R wave, S and T wave P- wave is first wave, it is a small upward deflection on the ECG It represents atrial depolarisation or excitation, which spreads from the SAN through contractile fibres in both atria and leads to their contraction. QRS complex is second wave that begins as a downward deflection, continues as a large, upright, traingular wave, and ends as a downwards wave. It represents rapid ventricular depolarisation, as the action potential spreads through contractile fibres. It makes the beginning of systole. And T-wave is the third wave, it is a dome-shaped upward deflection, and it indicates ventricular repolarisation. It occurs just as the ventricles are starting to relax. The systole ends at the end of T-wave.

- Three copies of chromosome - 21 in a child with Down's syndrome have been analysed using molecular biology technology to detect any possible DNA polymorphism with reference to different alleles located on chromosome - 21.
