Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The action of the “T wave” is:
A
Atrial Depolarization
B
Atrial Repolarization
C
Ventricular Depolarization
D
Ventricular Repolarization
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Normally, the T wave is formed at the end of the last phase of ventricular repolarization. Ventricular repolarization is the process by which the ventricular myocytes return to their negative resting potential so they can depolarize again.

Detailed explanation-2: -The T wave on the ECG (T-ECG) represents repolarization of the ventricular myocardium. Its morphology and duration are commonly used to diagnose pathology and assess risk of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.

Detailed explanation-3: -T wave. T waves represent ventricular repolarization (atrial repolarization is obscured by the large QRS complex).

Detailed explanation-4: -The T Wave indicates ventricular repolarization, in which the ventricles relax following depolarization and contraction. The ST segment refers to the gap (flat or slightly upcurved line) between the S wave and the T wave, and represents the time between ventricular depolarization and repolarization.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ventricular repolarization is a complex electrical phenomenon which represents a crucial stage in electrical cardiac activity. It is expressed on the surface electrocardiogram by the interval between the start of the QRS complex and the end of the T wave or U wave (QT).
