diastole and systole diastole and systole
I think systole is when the heart contracts- the "lub" of the heart- and diastole is when the heart relaxes- the "dub" of the heart. Systole is the numerator of the fraction and diastole is the denominator of the fraction. Ex. 120/80 120 is systole and 80 is diastole
Systole and diastole most often refer to the ventricle of the heart. Systole is contraction of the ventricle, and diastole is the relaxation of the ventricle.
I believe that is called diastole, in contrast to systole, the contraction of the heart muscles.
Systole and diastole describe the phase/state the heart is in during a heartbeat. Systole refers to the heart when contracted, and blood is pumped into the arteries. Diastole refers to the heart when it is relaxed and blood enters the upper chambers.
The heart spends more time in diastole.
Systole is when a chamber of the heart (i.e. atrial vs. ventricular systole) is contracting. Diastole is when a chamber of the heart is relaxing. Without qualifying which chamber it is usually assumed to mean the left ventricle.Systole refers to when the heart is contracted and diastole refers to when the heart is relaxed.
The terms systole and diastole most often apply to the Right and Left Ventricles
Contraction of the ventricles and atria is called systole. Relaxation is called diastole.
The ventricles of heart have two states: systole(contraction) and diastole (relaxation). During diastole blood fills the ventricles and during systole the blood is pushed out of the heart into the arteries. The auricles contract anti-phase to the ventricles and chiefly serve to optimally fill the ventricles with blood.http://www.answers.com/systole
SYSTOLIC: Relating to a systole or happening during a systole. But what is a systole? It is the contraction of the chambers of the heart(especially the ventricles) to drive blood into the aorta and pulmonary artery. DIASTOLIC: Relating to a diastole or happening during a diastole. But what is a diastole ? The widening of the chambers of the heart between two contractions when the chambers fill with blood is called a diastole.
S1 S2 are heart sounds. The S1 sound occurs at the beginning of systole (end of diastole). The S2 sound occurs at the beginning of Diastole (end of systole).
