Question 2
Question
Excitable tissue is defined by its ability to
Answer
-
Respond to changes in the environment.
-
Generate electricity.
-
Create an action potential

Question 3
Question
Which series of events in the cardiac cycle occurs first?
Answer
-
Electrical
-
Mechanical
Question 4
Question
What is the benefit of a 12-lead ECG? In other words, why isn’t one lead sufficient?
Answer
-
Multiple leads provide a 3 dimensional image of the electrical activity of the heart.
-
Each additional lead duplicates and verifies the others.
-
There is no benefit.

Answer
-
millivolts

seconds
-
millivolts
-
