Consider the following statements with respect to ECG [Electrocardiogram] and choose the correct answer. Statement-I: 'P' wave represents the depolarisation of ventricles. Statement-II: 'T' wave represents the repolarisation of ventricles.
Options
- AStatement-I and Statement-II are wrong.
- BStatement-I is correct but Statement-II is wrong.
- CStatement-I is wrong but Statement-II is correct.
- DStatement-I and Statement-II are correct.
Correct answer
C. Statement-I is wrong but Statement-II is correct.
Step-by-step solution
The P wave in an ECG represents the electrical excitation or depolarisation of the atria, which leads to the contraction of both atria. Thus, Statement-I is incorrect. The T wave represents the return of the ventricles from an excited state to a normal state, which is known as repolarisation. Thus, Statement-II is correct. Therefore, Statement-I is wrong but Statement-II is correct. Answer: Statement-I is wrong but Statement-II is correct.
