The cardiac cycle of the heart has two phases - the diastole phase and systole phase. In the systole phase, the ventricles contract and pump blood into the arteries.
It is called Systole.
The two phases of the heartbeat are systole (contraction phase) and diastole (relaxation phase).
The human heartbeat has two phases. The systolic phase corresponds with contraction, and the diastolic phase with relaxation.
The relaxation phase of the heartbeat is called diastole. During diastole, the heart ventricles relax and fill with blood in preparation for the next contraction.
during diastolic phase the chambers of heart get filled with blood systolic phase and diastolic phase are the phases oh heartbeat and diastolic phase is also known as resting phase.
Diastole is the relaxation phase. Systole is the contraction phase. If you put these phases together you have the Cardiac Cycle...
The individual heartbeat, or contraction, can be modified by input from the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. This modification can include increased or decreased contraction ratios, increased or decreased stroke volume and increased or decreased rate of contraction.
Systole refers to the phase of the heartbeat when the heart muscle contracts and blood is pushed out of the heart chambers. Diastole refers to the phase when the heart muscle relaxes and the heart chambers fill with blood.
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.
The individual heartbeat, or contraction, can be modified by input from the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. This modification can include increased or decreased contraction ratios, increased or decreased stroke volume and increased or decreased rate of contraction.
Similarly, a period of recession occurs at the start of the contraction phase.
