Expert Solution
Step 1

The cardiac cycle involves the coordinated contraction and relaxation of the heart chambers. The contraction of the heart chamber to eject blood is known as systole. The relaxation of the heart chambers upon filling with blood is called diastole. The regular contraction and relaxation of the heart is essential for the functioning of the heart.
