|
What happens during the P-wave? |
Atrial depolarization and contraction |
|
What happens at the QRS wave? |
Atrial repolarize, but it’s masked by ventricular depolarization |

What happens during the ST wave |
No net electrical charge |
|
Explain the process of ventilation |
Air moves from high pressure to low pressure is the size of the thoracic cavity. Decreases pressure inside increases vice verSa |

What is the difference between alveolar air and blood in the capillary |
Alveolar air has a high concentration of oxygen. So oxygen flows into the capillary high to low concentration. |
