QRS complex - ANSWERwhat does ventricle depolarization show on the ECG? T wave - ANSWERwhat does repolarization show on the ECG? increase - ANSWERwhat does sympathetic stimulation do to the heart rate? decrease - ANSWERwhat does parasympathetic stimulation do to the heart rate? absolute refractory period - ANSWERthe period immediately following the firing of a nerve fiber when it cannot be stimulated no matter how great a stimulus is applied relative refractory period - ANSWERduring the ventricular cardiac cycle when all cardiac cells are not fully repolarized and a strong enough stimulus can excite cardiac tissue and initiate arrhythmias
