During ECG of a healthy person, P-wave represents

1. Ventricular depolarisation

2. Ventricular repolarisation

3. Joint diastole

4. Atrial depolarisation

Choose the incorrect match
(1) Cardiac arrest – Condition in which heart

                                  stops beating

(2) T-wave –          Represents depolarization

                            of ventricles

(3) SAN –             Generates maximum
                           number of action
                           potentials

(4) P-wave –          Represents contraction of

                          both atria

1. Leucocytes – 6000 - 8000 mm^–3

2. Globulins – Involved in defence mechanisms

3. O^– blood group – Antibodies A and B absent

Which of the following disorders of circulatory system is not correctly stated?

(1) Hypertension – A sustained blood pressure of 140/90 or above

(2) CAD – The lumen of coronary arteries become narrower due to deposits of calcium, fat, cholesterol and fibrous tissue

(3) Atherosclerosis – Heart muscle is suddenly damaged by inadequate blood supply

Which of the following statements is not true for the human heart?

1. Adrenal medullary hormones can increase the cardiac output

2. Neural signal through the sympathetic nerves can initiate the heart beat

3. Increase in BMR due to thyroxine can indirectly increase heart rate

4. Strength of ventricular contraction and cardiac output is increased by catecholamines

Complete stoppage of heart beat is termed as

(1) Heart attack

(2) Heart block

(3) Cardiac arrest

(4) Heart failure
