Are the atria high pressure and ventricles low pressure?
no its the other way round
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.
When atria relax ventricles do what?
When relaxed, the atria expand, and then the ventricles contract.
What is the result when the pressure in the ventricles rises higher than the pressure in the atria?
Increased pressure in the ventricles means the heart has increased stress pumping blood to the respiratory system/ body.
Do atria contract before the ventricles?
Yes, atria contracts before the ventricles.
What difference atria and ventricles fetal pig?
the difference between the ventricles and the atria is that the ventricles are thicker
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.
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.
Function of atria?
ventricles
What part of the blood is atria and ventricles?
The Atria and Ventricles are parts of the heart not the blood. The Atria is the upper chambers of the heart and the Ventricles are the lower chambers of 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.
Is systolic pressure where the ventricls are relaxing?
Relaxation = Diastole Contraction of the atria=Atrial systole Contraction of the ventricles = Ventricular systole
