Question
Answer
unwanted external event occurring in an EKG tracing not associated with the heart function   artifact  
🗑
the machine that records an electrocardiogram:   electrocardiograph  
🗑
also known as gain is the degree of change in an EKG tracing, it is represented by the vertical axis   amplitude  
🗑
Recording of electrical current involving both a positive and negative pole   bipolar  
🗑
recording of one location or one pole is:   unipolar  
🗑
A unipolar recording that requires assisting in magnifying the tracing by drawing from other poles is:   augmented  
🗑
Located on the chest in front of the heart   precordial  
🗑
this is the first wave in the cardiac cycle representing atria depolarization   P Wave  
🗑
Asystole: contraction   depolarization  
🗑
the second wave in the cardiac cycle representing ventricular depolarization is:   QRS wave  
🗑
Systole: relaxation is:   Repolarization  
🗑
the third wave in the cardiac cycle representing ventricular repolarization   T wave  
🗑
A collection of fibers that conduct the electrical impulses from the AV node to the ventricular septum is:   bundle of HIS  
🗑
the finger like projections that spread through the ventricular muscle and initiate ventricular contraction are:   Purkinje fibers  
🗑
The length of time from the beginning of atrial depolarization to the beginning of ventricular depolarization is:   P R interval  
🗑
The length of time from the beginning of the ventricular depolarization to ventricular depolarization is:   QT interval  
🗑
The process of recording an electrocardiogram is:   electrocardiography  
🗑
The universally acceptable speed of the tracing and gain (height) used for accurate interpretation of the tracing is:   standardization  
🗑
Muscle movement causing irregular spike in an EKG tracing is:   somatic tremor  
🗑
60 cycle interference; an artifact in the EKG tracing caused by electrical interference is:   alternating current AC interference  
🗑
Inconsistency in the baseline location on the EKG tracing likely caused by poor lead contact or skin placement is:   wandering baseline  
🗑
A break in the tracing usually caused by a disconnected or broken lead is:   interrupted baseline  
🗑
Also known as dysrhythmia: a change from a normal EKG rhythm:   arrhythmia  
🗑
The natural pacemaker of the heart located in the upper right atrium is:   sinoatrial node, SA Node  
🗑
An upward curvature of waves in an EKG tracing is:   positive deflection  
🗑
A downward curvature of waves in an EKG tracing is:   negative deflection  
🗑
The secondary pacemaker located at the junction of the atria and ventricles is the:   Atrioventricular node, AV node  
🗑
Often referred to as Holter monitoring: an EKG conducted over a period of time while the patient resumes normal activities is called:   ambulatory monitoring  
🗑
The wall muscle is called the   septum  
🗑
The right side of the heart carries:   deoxygenated blood  
🗑
The top chambers are called   atrium, atria  
🗑
The bottom chambers of the heart are called   ventricles  
🗑
What are the 3 layers of the heart called   endocardium, myocardium, epicardium  
🗑
What are the 3 types of circulation   coronary, pulmonary, systemic  
🗑
Where does gas exchange take place   in the capillaries  
🗑
What do veins have that arteries do not have?   valves  
🗑
Arteries have a:   pulse  
🗑
When blood collects under the skin   it forms a hematoma  
🗑
What vein is located in the middle of the forearm   median cubital  
🗑
________ is located on the outer side of the arm yet harder to palpate   cephalic  
🗑
This vein is located in the inner arm its the third choice and lays close to the median nerve and brachial artery   basilic vein  
🗑
These cells are biconcave and carry hemoglobin   erythrocytes  
🗑
_________ means they can pass through capillaries' thin walls   diapedesis  
🗑
cells surrounding and destroying (eating) the foreign substances thru a process known as:   phagocytosis  
🗑
3 types of lymphoid cells are:   T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, and natural killer (NK) cells  
🗑
Cells that have a nucleus that is segmented into 2 or more lobes are:   polymorphonuclear  
🗑
Cells with single lobed nucleus are:   mononuclear  
🗑

🗑
_________ Cells are bilobed nucleus and cytoplasmic granules that stain orange-red, 1-4%, and destroy parasites   Eosinophils  
🗑
________ cells a bilobed nucleus and cytoplasmic granules that stain deep blue and may appear black, 0-1%, increase with chronic inflammation and during healing from infection.   Basophils  
🗑

🗑
_______ have round nucleus with a minimum amount of cytoplasm, may be B, T, or NK cells, 20-30%, increase with viral infections   Lymphocytes  
🗑
Another name for platelets   thrombocytes  
🗑
Liquid portion of whole blood   plasma  
🗑
Liquid portion of clotted blood   serum  
🗑
