As the ventricles of the heart contract the pressure in the ventricles rises beyond that of the atria. This pressure differential causes the AV valves to shut.

What happens when the AV valves are Ventricular contraction?
the valves close
What is the use of the valves?
The atrioventricular valves are used to stop blood from flowing back into the atrium during ventricular ejection of blood during ventricular contraction.
What happens to the volume of blood in the ventricle during the period of isovolumetric contraction?
Both ventricular contraction and atrial diastole take place.
When do the bicuspid valves open and close?
The bicupid and tricuspid valves close during ventricular contraction. This prevents the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria.
What happens to A V valves during ventricular contraction?
As the ventricles of the heart contract the pressure in the ventricles rises beyond that of the atria. This pressure differential causes the AV valves to shut.
Which two valves are open during ventricular systole and closed during ventricular diastole?
The semi-lunar valves
During ventricular systole are AV valves closed?
yes during ventricular systole AV valves are closed.
What heart valves are closed during systole?
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)
Chordae tendineae are associated with which structure(s)?
Chordae tendineae are associated with the heart, specifically with the atrioventricular valves (tricuspid and mitral valves). They are fibrous cords that attach the valves to the papillary muscles in order to prevent the valves from inverting into the atria during ventricular contraction.
What events occur when the semilunar valves are open?
The semilunar valves are open when blood is being pumped by ventricular contraction. This event is called systole.
The atrioventricular valves are closed during the entire period of?
ventricular systole
Which of the following is true during ventricular systole?
The AV valves are closed
