During which phase of the cardiac cycle do the ventricles of the heart contract?

There are many phases of the cardiac cycle- in total five stages occur. phase 1) - Isovolumetric ventricular contraction In response to ventricular depolarization, tension in the ventricles increases. The rise in pressure within the ventricles leads closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves. The pulmonic and aortic valves stay closes during the entire phase. 2) ventricular ejection: When ventricular pressure exceeds aortic and pulmonary arterial pressure 80MMHG- the aortic and pulmonic valves open and the ventricles eject 70% of the blood. 3) Isovolumetric relaxation: when ventricular pressure falls below pressure in the aorta and pulmonary artery, the aortic and pulmonic valves close. All valves are closed during this phase. Atrial diastole occurs as blood fills the atria.4) ventricular filling: atrial pressure exceeds ventricular pressure which causes the mitral and tricuspid valves to open. Blood then flows passively into the ventricles. About 70% of ventricular filling takes place during this phase. 5) atrial systole: known as the atrial kick, atrial systole coinciding with late ventricular diastole supplies the ventricles with the remaining blood for each heart beat. Diastole: This occurs in-between heartbeats to allow blood to refill the heartSystole: when the atria and ventricles contact For more information e-mail me: Elliottcollins@hotmail.co.uk I also have a VERY helpfull link belowHow_heart_works

What is the phase in the cardiac cycle in which the ventricles relax between contractions?
The ventricles relax during diastole.
What is the term that refers to the portion of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles contract and eject blood from the heart?
Systolic pressure
Which is the phase of cardiac cycle in which the auricles contract?
The auricles will contract during the systolic phase of the cardiac cycle. This is one of the numbers that is measured when a patient has their blood pressure taken.
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.
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
During what phase of cardiac cycle are all four chambers in diastole?
Once the ventricles contraction phase is over, the diastole starts. Then all the four chambers are in diastole, till the atria start to contract.
Is the p wave part of the cardiac cycle?
Yes - On an ECG the P wave is the first wave of the cardiac cycle. It represents the Sinoatrial node which is the natural pacemaker of the heart firing and causing the atria to contract in order to fill the ventricles.
How does the heart contract or relax?
The heart contracts and relaxes during a cardiac cycle.
Relaxation of the ventricles is?
Is the beginning of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles start to relax all four chambers are in diastole.
During the normal cardiac cycle the artia contract when they are directly stimulated by the?
S A node
What part of the cardiac cycle is associated with the QRS complex?
The cardiac cycle refers to a complete heartbeat, including the systole and diastole. The QRS complex occurs during the depolarization of the right and left ventricles of the human heart.
What are the two main phases of a heartbeat?
There is the contraction of the atria and the contraction of the ventricles. When the atria contract, the AV valves are open, allowing the blood to fall into the ventricles. The AV valves then close, and the ventricles contract, pumping the blood out into the arteries.
