∙ 11y agoIt depends on which valves this question is referring to. To break it down simply:
During systole the aortic valve is open.
During diastole the aortic valve is closed.

Are both sets of valves closed during the cardiac cycle?
Pulmonary and aortic valves are semilunar valves having three semilunar cusps each. these valves open with the free ends facing the vessels when the heart contracts and closes when heart relaxes thus preventing regurgitation
A graphic display of heart sounds produced during the cardiac cycle is?
phonocardiogram
What is the relaxing phase of the cardiac cycle?
The resting phace of the cardiac cycle is known as the refractory period
What is occurring during the diastolic period?
Diastole is the phase in the cardiac cycle that allows filling of blood into the ventricle. It corresponds to the lower number in the blood pressure measurement. A normal upper limit of the blood pressure falls in the range less than 120/80 mm Hg. Above this value, it is considered pre-hypertension based on The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure.During the diastolic period the ventricle is in the fifth phase of the cardiac cycle. This phase is termed isovolumetric relaxation which occurs immediately after the second heart sound. In this phase, all valves of the heart are closed. The volume of blood in the ventricle during this phase of the cardiac cycle remains constant. Following the fifth phase of the cardiac cycle is the rapid filling of blood into the ventricle. This cycle corresponds to the opening of the mitral and tricuspid valves located between the left and right atria and ventricle, respectively. The next phase of the cardiac cycle, called diastasis, is the longest phase of the cardiac cycle. In this cycle, the ventricle continues to fill with blood but at a much slower rate. The final phase of diastole corresponds to the first phase of the cardiac cycle. In this phase of the cardiac cycle, the atria contracts to provide additional filling of blood into the ventricle. After the final phase of diastole, the systolic phase of the cardiac cycle begins.
What portion of the cardiac cycle is shortened by this more rapid heart rate?
The ventricular relaxation period.
Are both sets of valves closed during the cardiac cycle?
Pulmonary and aortic valves are semilunar valves having three semilunar cusps each. these valves open with the free ends facing the vessels when the heart contracts and closes when heart relaxes thus preventing regurgitation
How does the heart contract or relax?
The heart contracts and relaxes during a cardiac cycle.
What is the graphic of heart sounds produced during the cardiac cycle?
Phonocardiogram
During which phase of the cardiac cycle do the ventricles relax and fill with blood?
diastole is when all 4 chambers of the heart are at rest after a cardiac cycle systole is the term used to describe the heart during a contraction
A graphic display of heart sounds produced during the cardiac cycle is?
phonocardiogram
What events in the cardiac cycle cause the first and second heart sounds?
The closing of the mitral and tricuspid valves create the "lubb" and the closing of the semilunar valves creates the "dubb"
What causes the valves to open and close during the heart cycle?
By minute electrical singles produced by the heart itself to open and close the valves.
The first sound of a cardiac cycle occurs when?
closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves.
What is a complete cycle of a heart contraction and relaxation called?
Cardiac cycle, which is made up of atrial and ventricular systole and diastole.
What is the relaxing phase of the cardiac cycle?
The resting phace of the cardiac cycle is known as the refractory period
What phase of the cardiac cycle is the heart in when all four valves of the heart are closed and ventricular pressure is building but is not yet great enough to open a valve?
That phase is called as isovolumetric contraction phase.
What is occurring during the diastolic period?
Diastole is the phase in the cardiac cycle that allows filling of blood into the ventricle. It corresponds to the lower number in the blood pressure measurement. A normal upper limit of the blood pressure falls in the range less than 120/80 mm Hg. Above this value, it is considered pre-hypertension based on The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure.During the diastolic period the ventricle is in the fifth phase of the cardiac cycle.
