When I first learned about laminating with contact paper from the book, The Toddler’s Busy Book, I admittedly got a little carried away with “laminating” everything. One of the things I made was this set of colored shapes to help my toddler learn both his shapes and colors.

The QRS complex indicates ventricular depolarization. Depolarization triggers contraction of the ventricles.
Because of the larger tissue mass, the QRS complex is larger than the P wave. While the prototypical QRS complex consists of three wave components, one or two of these components may be missing.
