What records the electrical impulses of the heart?An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) records the electrical signal from the heart to check for different heart conditions. Electrodes are placed on the chest to record the heart's electrical signals, which cause the heart to beat. The signals are shown as waves on an attached computer monitor or printer.
What is the name of the device used to record the impulses from the patient's heart on paper?An electrocardiograph machine tracks the electrical activity of a patient's heart by tracing lines on paper that reflect the electrical impulses (beating) of the heart.
Which of the following is responsible for sending out electrical impulses that spread over muscles in the atria and is known as the pacemaker?SA node (sinoatrial node) – known as the heart's natural pacemaker. The impulse starts in a small bundle of specialized cells located in the right atrium, called the SA node. The electrical activity spreads through the walls of the atria and causes them to contract. This forces blood into the ventricles.
Which of the following units is used to measure the heart's electrical activity?The medical field uses beats per minute (BPM) as the standard unit for heart rate measurements.
