In a standard ECG which one of the following alphabets is the correct representation of the respective activity of the human heart

  • S- start ofsystole 

  • T- end of diastole

  • P- depolarisation of the atria

  • R - repolarisation of ventricles


C.

P- depolarisation of the atria

A normal electrogram (ECG) is composed of a P wave, a QRS wave (complex) and a T wave. The P-wave represents the electrical excitation or depolarization of the atria. The QRS complex represents the depolarization of the ventricles which initiates the ventricular contraction. The contraction starts shortly after Q and marks the beginning of the systole. The T-wave represents the repolarization of ventricles. The end of the T-wave marks the end of systole.

Identify A, B, C and D and select the correct option regarding them

  • A-Glomerulus -a tuft of capillaries formed by afferent arteriole.

  • B-PCT-reabsorption of HCO3 and selective secretion of H and K+ occurs here.

  • C-DCT-almost all glucose, amino acids, water, Na, K and uric acid are absorbed here.

  • D-collecting duct-extends from the cortex of the kidney to the inner parts of medulla. Large amount of water is secreted in this region.
