Explanation

• ECG (Electrocardiogram) is a test used to measure the electrical activity of the heart.

It is commonly used for the diagnosis of heart-related ailments, such as:

• Arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms)
• Coronary artery disease
• Cardiac arrests
• Heart failure

Explanation

The heart is the organ responsible for pumping blood throughout the human body.

It ensuring that oxygen and nutrients are delivered to tissues and organs.

Explanation

In humans and higher animals, the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) is carried out by the respiratory processes, which include:

• Breathing (inhalation and exhalation)
• Transport of gases through the blood
• Exchange of gases in the lungs (oxygen in, carbon dioxide out)

Explanation

Respiration involves two main processes:

1. Mechanical Process (Ventilation):

• Breathing in (inhalation)
• Breathing out (exhalation)
• Movement of air in and out of the lungs

2. Biochemical Process (Respiratory Exchange):

• Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and blood
• Transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide through the bloodstream
• Cellular respiration (cellular metabolism)

Explanation

• The oesophagus is a muscular tube that connects the pharynx (throat) to the stomach.
• Its main function is to transport food from the pharynx to the stomach through peristalsis (wave-like muscle contractions).
