THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -The P wave represents the electrical depolarization of the atria. In a healthy person, this originates at the sinoatrial node (SA node) and disperses into both left and right atria.

Detailed explanation-2: -’P’ wave is the first wave in an ECG and is a positive wave. It indicates the activation of the SA nodes. ‘T’ wave too is a positive wave and is the final wave in an ECG though sometimes an additional U wave may be seen. It represents ventricular relaxation.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
