substances of acetylcholine‚ adrenaline and atropine‚ and increased frequency of stimulus. Regarding Figure 1‚ the regular heartbeat and contraction force of the toad was identified to demonstrate the difference between atrial contractions and ventricular contractions in a normal environment. In cardiac‚ skeletal‚ and some smooth muscle tissue‚ contraction occurs through a spectacle known as excitation contraction coupling (Freeman et al.‚ 2014). This process converts electrical stimulus from the

The P-R interval represents depolarization of the atria‚ atrioventricular (AV) node‚ bundle of His‚ bundle branches‚ and the Purkinje fibers. The QRS represents ventricular depolarization. The Q wave is the first negative deflection following the P wave and should be narrow and short.

about . I second is lost by this wave in traveling from the heart to the neck.2 It is probably caused by an upward movement of the auriculo-ventricular junction at the end of systole. The v wave is frequently notched and many believe that the portion preceding the notch is a stasis wave caused by the collection of blood in the auricle previous to ventricular diastole. ’ Some authors‚3 indeed‚ attribute the entire v wave to this origin. This wave is terminated by the opening of the trictuspid valves
