Detailed explanation-1: -the S wave signifies the final depolarization of the ventricles, at the base of the heart.
Detailed explanation-2: -The P wave indicates atrial depolarization. The P wave occurs when the sinus node, also known as the sinoatrial node, creates an action potential that depolarizes the atria. The P wave should be upright in lead II if the action potential is originating from the SA node.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first wave (p wave) represents atrial depolarisation. When the valves between the atria and ventricles open, 70% of the blood in the atria falls through with the aid of gravity, but mainly due to suction caused by the ventricles as they expand.
Detailed explanation-4: -The P wave represents the normal atrium (upper heart chambers) depolarization; the QRS complex (one single heart beat) corresponds to the depolarization of the right and left ventricles (lower heart chambers); the T wave represents the re-polarization (or recovery) of the ventricles.
