Conclusion
1. In the space below, explain what an EKG can tell a physician about the heart of a specific patient. An EKG can tell a physician if something is wrong with how the Atrials contract, How the ventricals contract, and how the ventricals relax 2. Examine the EKG graphs produced in Part 1 and Part 2 of this activity. What do these graphs indicate about the flow of current through the heart and consequently through the body? (Hint: think in terms of electrical charges.) It shows that the electrical charges move really fast, and can mess up pretty easily.
