24
Q

Events of one complete heartbeat, during which both atria and ventricles contract and then relax

A

CARDIAC CYCLE

25
Q

One cardiac cycle is at ____ second

A

0.8 second

25
Q

Atria ____; ventricles ______

A

relax; contract

25
Q

Diastole = ______

A

relaxation

25
Q

Heart is completely relaxed. Pressure of the heart is low and AV valves are open and
semilunar valves are closed

A

Atrial diastole (ventricular filling)

25
Q

Beats approx. at ___ times per minutes

A

75 times per minutes

25
Q

Systole = ________

A

contraction

25
Q

As ventricular diastole begins, the pressure in the ventricles falls below that in the major arteries, and the semilunar valves close to prevent backflow into the ventricles.

A

Isovolumetric relaxation

25
Q

ventricles remain in diastole as the atria contract, forcing blood into the ventricles to
complete ventricular filling

A

Atrial systole

25
Q

Atrial systole ends, and ventricular systole begins. The initial rise in intraventricular pressure closes the AV valves, preventing backflow of blood into the atria.

A

Isovolumetric contraction

26
Q

The ventricles are completely closed chambers and intraventricular pressure continues to decrease.

A

Isovolumetric relaxation

26
Q

The atria have been in diastole, filling with blood. When atrial pressure increases above intraventricular pressure, the AV valves open, and the cycle repeats.

A

Isovolumetric relaxation

26
Q

The ventricles continue to contract, causing
the intraventricular pressure to surpass the
pressure in the major arteries leaving the
heart

A

Ventricular systole (ejection phase)

26
Q

events of one complete heart beat

A

Cardiac cycle

26
Q

blood flows into
ventricles

A

Mid-to-late diastole

27
Q

blood pressure builds before ventricle contracts, pushing out blood

A

Ventricular systole

27
Q

ventricular pressure is low

A

Early diastole

28
Q

The first heart sound (lub) is caused by the ______

A

28
Q

The second heart sound (dup) occurs when
the ____ close at the end of
___________
