Question 1

Question
Which answer best defines a biopotential?
Answer
  • An electrical gradient in living cells.
  • Kinetic energy in an organism.
  • All of the things a human can do on their lifetime.
  • The ions in a cell.

Question 2

Question
Excitable tissue is defined by its ability to
Answer
  • Respond to changes in the environment.
  • Generate electricity.
  • Create an action potential
  • All of these are true.

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.

Question 5

Question

Answer
  • millivolts
  • seconds
  • millivolts
  • seconds

Question 8

Question
Which of the following is not represented by a specific wave on a typical electrocardiogram?
Answer

Question 9

Question
Which happens first?
Answer
