How to Read an ECG
How to Read an ECG
• A recording of the electrical activity of the
heart is called an _____________.
• The period when the atria are depolarizing
(getting ready to contract) is called the
___________.
• The period when the ventricles are
depolarizing (getting ready to contract) is
called the ____________.
• The period when the ventricles are
repolarizing is called the ____________.
How to Read an ECG

beats per minute in a non-athlete) is called
______________.
• An abnormally rapid heartbeat (faster than
100 beats permit at rest) is called
_______________.
• A condition in which the heart is
uncoordinated and useless as a pump is called

Anatomy of Blood Vessels
Anatomy of Blood Vessels
• Tunica intima
• Tunica media
• Tunica externa
o Single layer of endothelium
o Bulky middle coat,
containing smooth muscle
and elastin
o Provides a smooth surface
to decrease resistance to
blood flow
o The only tunic of capillaries
o Also called the adventitia
o The only tunic that plays an
active role in blood pressure
regulation
o Supporting, protective coat
