The first phase of the cardiac cycle is
. This is when a lot of blood is in the atria, which causes atrial pressure to be higher than the ventricles. The
atrioventricular valves open, and blood moves from the atria to the ventricles. At the end of this phase, the atria contract to maintain pressure and blood flow into the
ventricles. As blood leaves the atria, the pressure in the atria
As blood enters the ventricles, the pressure in the ventricles
Towards the end of this phase, the pressure in the ventricles will exceed the pressure in the atria. At this point, the heart enters the second phase of the cardiac cycle:
At this point, the AV valves shut, and we hear
. The atria repolarize and the ventricles
(due to the QRS complex of the ECG), causing ventricular contraction. Although contracting, it is not yet moving blood into the arteries. All 4 heart valves…

Select one:
ventricular systole.
the ejection period.
ventricular diastole.
atrial systole.
