The QRS complex in a standard ECG represents:
1. Depolarisation of auricles
2. Depolarisation of ventricles
3. Repolarisation of ventricles
4. Repolarisation of auricles
1. | Increased ventricular pressure causes closing of the semilunar valves. |
2. | The atrio-ventricular node (AVN) generates an action potential to stimulate atrial contraction. |
3. | The tricuspid and the bicuspid valves open due to the pressure exerted by the simultaneous contraction of the atria. |
4. | Blood moves freely from atrium to the ventricle during joint diastole. |

2. | C - Vein - thin-walled and blood flows in jerks./spurts |
3. | D - Pulmonary vein - takes oxygenated blood to heart PO2=95 mm Hg |
4. | A - Artery- thick-walled and blood flows evenly |
