The valve between the right upper and lower chambers of the heart is the ______. Tricuspid Valve.
The PR Segment ________ Follows the P wave, appears as an isoelectric line, is created as the impulse moves slowly through the AV node, Is the time between the end of the artial depolarization and the start of the ventricular depolarization.
What state creates electrical activity that can be picked up on the ECG tracing? Depolarized state and repolarized state
The atrioventricular bundle is the same as the ______. Bundle of his and AV bundle.
_______ transmit the impulse quickly and efficiently to the ventricular myocardial cells. Purkinje fibers
______ is the state when the cardiac cells are resting Polarized state
