TRUE Cardiac contraction occurs when electrical impulses cause the working cells in the heart to shorten. Bloom's: Understand Difficulty: Easy Learning Outcome: Explain the conduction system as it relates to the ECG. 60. (p. 43) The T wave represents atrial depolarization. FALSE The T wave represents ventricular repolarization. Bloom's: Understand Difficulty: Easy Learning Outcome: Explain the conduction system as it relates to the ECG. 2- Chapter 02 The Cardiovascular System Key 61. (p. 43) The period of time between ventricular depolarization and the beginning of ventricular repolarization is represented on the ECG waveform by the QT interval. TRUE The period of time between ventricular depolarization and the beginning of ventricular repolarization is represented on the ECG waveform by the QT interval.
