Chapter 40, Problem 12RQ

During the systolic phase of the cardiac cycle, the heart is.

  1. contracting
  2. relaxing
  3. contracting and relaxing
  4. filling with blood

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
The pressure in the veins sufficiently high to drive the flow of blood into the heart is callec venous return cardiac output stroke volume isovolumic contraction
isovolumetric contraction isovolumetric relaxation ventricular filling ventricular ejection closed rises S1 drops depolarize S2 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…
The heart is resting during Select one: ventricular systole. the ejection period. ventricular diastole. atrial systole.
