When are the semilunar valves open and closed?

When the ventricular pressure exceeds the pressure in the aorta and pulmonary trunk, the semilunar valves are forced open and blood is ejected out. This signals the ejection phase of the cardiac cycle of ventricular systole.


During ventricular systole are AV valves closed?

yes during ventricular systole AV valves are closed.


During which phase of the cardiac cycle do the ventricles of the heart contract?

There are many phases of the cardiac cycle- in total five stages occur. phase 1) - Isovolumetric ventricular contraction In response to ventricular depolarization, tension in the ventricles increases. The rise in pressure within the ventricles leads closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves. The pulmonic and aortic valves stay closes during the entire phase. 2) ventricular ejection: When ventricular pressure exceeds aortic and pulmonary arterial pressure 80MMHG- the aortic and pulmonic valves open and the ventricles eject 70% of the blood. 3) Isovolumetric relaxation: when ventricular pressure falls below pressure in the aorta and pulmonary artery, the aortic and pulmonic valves close. All valves are closed during this phase. Atrial diastole occurs as blood fills the atria.4) ventricular filling: atrial pressure exceeds ventricular pressure which causes the mitral and tricuspid valves to open. Blood then flows passively into the ventricles. About 70% of ventricular filling takes place during this phase. 5) atrial systole: known as the atrial kick, atrial systole coinciding with late ventricular diastole supplies the ventricles with the remaining blood for each heart beat. Diastole: This occurs in-between heartbeats to allow blood to refill the heartSystole: when the atria and ventricles contact For more information e-mail me: Elliottcollins@hotmail.co.uk I also have a VERY helpfull link belowHow_heart_works

What happend during isovolumetric contraction?

There are 3 phases in the cardiac cycle: 1) Ventricular filling: mid-to-late diastole; 2) Ventricular systole; and 3) Isovolumetric relaxation: early diastole. In phase two, ventricular systole, the atria relax and the ventricles begin contracting. Their walls close in on the blood in their chambers, and ventricular pressure rises closing the atriaventricular (AV) valve. Because, for a split second, the ventricles are completely closed chambers and blood volume in the chambers remain constant, it is called the isovolumetric contraction phase.Info gathered from Marieb's Human Anatomy and Physiology 8th edition: Chapter 18 Cardiovascular System


When are all valves closed?

The AV valves open when the blood pressure exerted on their atrial side is greater than that of the ventricle side. This will happen when blood returning to the heart fills the atria and puts pressure against the valve.


When does most of coronary artery perfusion occur?

ventricular diastole after the aortic valve has closed.


During the isovolumetric relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle the AV valves are and the semilunar valves are?

closed and 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)
