The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the ECG (electrocardiogram) and the waves represented during the cardiac cycle, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Components of an ECG**: - An ECG consists of several waves that represent different electrical activities of the heart. - The main waves are: - **P Wave**: Represents atrial depolarization. - **QRS Complex**: Represents ventricular depolarization. - **T Wave**: Represents ventricular repolarization. 2. **Identify the Waves Represented**: - From the above definitions: - The **P wave** indicates that the atria are depolarizing. - The **QRS complex** indicates that the ventricles are depolarizing. - The **T wave** indicates that the ventricles are repolarizing. 3. **Analyze the Options Given**: - The options provided are: - A) Depolarization of atria - B) Repolarization of atria - C) Depolarization of ventricles - D) Repolarization of ventricles - We know that: - Atrial depolarization (P wave) is represented. - Ventricular depolarization (QRS complex) is represented. - Ventricular repolarization (T wave) is represented. - However, there is no specific wave in the ECG that represents the repolarization of the atria. 4. **Conclusion**: - The wave that is not represented in the ECG of a normal healthy individual is the **repolarization of the atria** (option B). ### Final Answer: The correct option is **B) Repolarization of atria**.
