After reading the paragraphs below, answer the questions that follow.

Electrocardiographs (ECGs or EKGs) provide data about the electrical activity of the heart. By placing a series of "leads" on a person's chest, the electrical activity of the heart can be recorded and analyzed in order to detect irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias) and other conditions. The figure below shows a normal EKG tracing for one cardiac cycle.

The P region represents electrical activity spreading through the atria. The QRS region represents electrical activity spreading through the ventricles. The T region represents electrical activity in the ventricles returning to rest.


What is happening in the heart during the QRS region?
◦ The ventricles are contracting.
◦ The atria are contracting.
◦ The atria are filling with blood.
◦ The ventricles are filling with blood.
