The diagram given here is the standard ECG of a normal person. The P- wave represents the :
Updated On: Jul 13, 2024
- End of systole
- Contraction of both the atria
- Initiation of the ventricular contraction
- Beginning of the systole
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
In ECG, P-wave represents the depolarization of atria, which leads to the contraction of both atria. T-wave represents the return of ventricles from excited to normal state. The QRS complex represents the depolarisation of the ventricles, which initiates ventricular contraction. The contraction starts shortly after Q and marks the beginning of systole.

- Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \(M = 5\) cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:

Circulatory Pathways
Virtually every cell, tissue, organ, and system in the body is impacted by the circulatory system.
- Digestive - Absorbs nutrients and water; delivers nutrients (except most lipids) to liver for processing by hepactic portal vein; provides nutrients essential for hematopoiesis and building hemoglobin.
- Endocrine - Delivers hormones: atrial natriuretic hormone (peptide) secreted by the heart atrial cells to help regulate blood volumes and pressures; epinephrine, ANH, angiotensin II, ADH, and thyroxine to help regulate blood pressure; estrogen to promote vascular health in women and men.
- Integumentary - Carries clotting factors, platelets, and white blood cells for homeostatis, fighting infection, and reparing damage; regulates temperature by controlling blood flow to the surface, where heat can be dissipated; provides some coloration of integument; acts as a blood reservoir.
- Muscular - Provides nutrients and oxygen for contraction; removes lactic acid and distributes heat generated by contraction; muscular pumps aid in venous return; exercise contributes to cardiovascular health and helps to prevent atherosclerosis.
