What does the ventricles pump blood into?
The aorta .
Blood ejected from the ventricles enters which vessels during ventricular systole?
The right ventricle empties into the pulmonary arteries and the left ventricle empties into the aorta.
Which phase in cardiac cycle is systolic pressure?
Blood flows into the relaxed atria while the ventricles contract. <rephrased> The ventricles contract, carrying blood into the aorta, and blood flows into the relaxed atria.
When ventricles contract blood pumped where?
Into the heart
Describe how heart contraction and relaxation influence coronary blood flow?
When relaxation or diastole is occurring in the atria blood flows through the atria and the AV valves into the ventricles. When contraction or systole is occurring in the atria the remaining blood that doesn't flow through during relaxation is pushed into the ventricles. As the atria relax, the ventricles begin contracting; ventricular pressure rises, closing the AV valves. Ventricular pressure continues rising until it exceeds the pressure in the large arteries stemming from the ventricles. The SL valves are forced open and blood is expelled from the ventricles into the aorta and pulmonary trunk. During this phase the ventricles relax because the blood is no longer compressed in their chambers. Blood expelled into the aorta and pulmonary trunk backflows toward the heart, which then closes the SL valves. During the ventricle contraction the atria stays in relaxation, filling with blood and when blood pressure on the atrial side of the AV valves exceeds that in the ventricles, the AV valves are forced open and ventricular filling begin all over again.
How much blood from the aorta passes into the ventricles before the atria contract?
lots :)
The pressure that must be overcome for the ventricles to eject blood from the aorta is called?
Afterload.
What pathway does the blood flow when the ventricles undergo contraction?
When the ventricles contract, the right ventricle pushes blood up through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary arteries via the pulmonary trunk, and the left ventricle pushes blood up through the aortic semilunar valve into the Aorta.
What is miocardia?
Miocardia is the decreasing heart volume during systolic contraction. The rhythmic contraction of the heart, especially the ventricles, via which the blood is returned/ pushed through the aorta and pulmonary artery after each diostole.
How do diastolic and systolic phases of the heart differ?
Diastole is the relaxation of the cardiac muscles after having contracted and pumped out the blood into the arteries.Systole is the contraction of the ventricles of the heart which pushes the blood out of the heart.
When blood leaves the ventricles where does it go?
The left Ventricle pumps blood out to your body
What do the right and left ventricles do?
The right ventricles pumps blood to the lungs via the pulmonary artery. The left ventricle pumps blood to the body via the Aorta.
