Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The T wave of the ECG corresponds to
A
atrial diastole.
B
ventricular repolarization.
C
atrial depolarization.
D
ventricular systole.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The T wave on an electrocardiogram (ECG) represents typically ventricular repolarization.

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 represents ventricular repolarization. The T wave exhibits a positive deflection. The reason for this is that the last cells to depolarize in the ventricles are the first to repolarize.

Detailed explanation-5: -The T wave on the electrocardiogram corresponds with ventricular repolarization (letter D). Other parts of the electrocardiogram also have the corresponding processes in the cardiac action potential. The P wave is due to atrial depolarization.
