cardiac cycle
Normal is less than 120 (mmHg)
Normal pressure during ventricular distole is Less than 80 (mmHg)
systolic blood pressure
ventricular systole
increasing! :D
Pressure in aorta is greatest during ventricular systole.
ventricular systole
Systolic Blood Pressure.
Systolic Pressure
systolic pressure
yes during ventricular systole AV valves are closed.
Systole is the phase during which the heart contracts resulting in the movement of blood to the peripheral parts of the body. The contractile force causes increase in the pressure of the arteries, greater than the diastole which makes it possible for the blood to reach the body.
In late diastole (relaxation phase), the semilunar (pocket) valves close, due to decreasing arterial pressure, to prevent blood flowing back into the ventricles. These stay closed during atrial systole. (But open again during ventricular systole.)Then, as the ventricles contract during ventricular systole, the bicuspid and tricuspid valves close to prevent blood from flowing back to the atria.So, it really depends on which phase of the contraction we are looking at.(Ed: format)
