Question
Answer
During ________ _______ there is a refractory period where the myocardial cells can not be stimulated   Relaxation phase  
🗑
Cells can NOT be stimulated AT ALL   Absolute Refractory  
🗑
Cells can be stimulated, BUT w/o the desired effect   relative refractory  
🗑
Records electrical activity of the heart   ECG or EKG  
🗑
The fact that the myocardial cells can depolarize and repolarize   Action potential  
🗑
the pathway of electrical activity   Vector  
🗑
electricity always runs from a ______ pole to a ________ pole   negative, positive  
🗑
Normal depolarization of the heart is from the   upper right to the lower left  
🗑
Name parts of the ECG machine   1.Galvanometer 2.electrodes 3.Lead wires 4.Stilus 5.paper  
🗑
changes electrical activity into mechanical motion   Galvanometer  
🗑
have a electrolyte gel for better conduction of electricity   Electrodes  
🗑
connect electrodes to ECG machine   Lead wires  
🗑
Writing arm and uses heat not ink   Stilus  
🗑
is heat sensitive   paper  
🗑
the boxes on the ECG paper horizontal =   time  
🗑
normal paper speed is   25mm/second  
🗑
Each small square speed =   0.04 seconds  
🗑
each large square speed =   0.20 seconds  
🗑
the boxes on ECG paper vertical measure   voltage  
🗑
each small square measures voltage =   .1mV  
🗑
each large square measure voltage =   .5mV  
🗑
which box is outlined darker   large box  
🗑
Normal Standardization (voltage)   10mm  
🗑
this line represents balance in electrical changes (polarized)   Base line  
🗑
base line AKA   Isoelectric line  
🗑
any deflection off the baseline   Wave  
🗑
Wave can be positive if ______ and negative if_______   upward and downward  
🗑
How many waves in one normal heart beat   5  
🗑
what are the 5 wave letters   p,q,r,s,t  
🗑
P wave =   atrial depolarization  
🗑
Q wave =   BOH  
🗑
R wave =   R&L bundle braches  
🗑
S wave =   Purkinje fibers  
🗑
The Q, R, S complex wave =   ventricular depolarization  
🗑
T wave =   Ventricular repolarization  
🗑
group of related waves   complex  
🗑
Time or line between 2 waves =   segment  
🗑
A wave combined with a segment =   Interval  
🗑
PRI =   Total atrial activity  
🗑
STI =   Repolarization/Refractory  
🗑
QTI =   Total ventricular Activity (both ventricular depolarization and Repolarization)  
🗑
U wave   Raley seen, pt. recovering from CHF or low serum K+ levels  
🗑
Represents the AV node holding the impulse   P-R Segment  
🗑
Very important in determining myocardial Ischemia and or infarction, Hypocalcemia,   S-T segment  
🗑
for heart rate calculation you need how many seconds or how many large boxes   6 seconds or 30 large boxes  
🗑
Count the "_" wave in a 6 second strip and ___ by ___. (It is the least accurate)   R, multiple by 10  
🗑
Count the ______ boxes between __ "R" waves and ____ into 300   large, 2 and divide  
🗑
Count the ____ boxes between 2 "R" waves and divide into _____. (most accurate)   small boxes, 1500  
🗑


   

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.
