Question
Draw a standard ECG and explain the different segments in it.

Answer

Electrocardiography is an important medical technique used to study electrical signals generated by the active states of the heart's muscles and tissues. These signals are recorded using a device called an electrocardiogram (ECG). In this procedure, by applying conducting jelly, three electrodes of the device are placed sequentially on the patient's chest, wrist, and legs. The obtained electrical signals, which are of a diminished nature, are amplified by the appropriate system in the device and recorded as a sensitive chart record.
An ECG captures electrical activities during the contraction and relaxation of different chambers of the heart as certain wave patterns, represented as PQRS and T-waves. Each wave indicates a specific condition in the heart's muscles.

The process to standardize the naming of living organisms is called nomenclature. Obviously, the nomenclature is only possible when the organism is described correctly and we know to what organism the name is attached to this is identification. The system of providing scientific name with two components is called Binomial Nomenclature. The scientific name ensures that each organism is identified by only one name all across the world. They also ensures that such a name has not been used for any other known organism. Scientific names for plants are provided in ICBN and for animals, in ICZN.
