Pulmonary and aortic valves are semilunar valves having three semilunar cusps each. these valves open with the free ends facing the vessels when the heart contracts and closes when heart relaxes thus preventing regurgitation

Systole and diastole causes the opening and closing of the valves. When systole occurs the valves close after filling the ventricles then during the diastole the valves open to allow the blood from the ventricles to flow into the pulmenary artery and the aorta and also allowing the auricles to empty owt into the ventricles.

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

closed and closed


Are both sets of heart valves open during any part of the cardiac cycle?

Yes, both sets of valves are closed twice during any one cardiac cycle.


What is occurring during the diastolic period?

Diastole is the phase in the cardiac cycle that allows filling of blood into the ventricle. It corresponds to the lower number in the blood pressure measurement. A normal upper limit of the blood pressure falls in the range less than 120/80 mm Hg. Above this value, it is considered pre-hypertension based on The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure.During the diastolic period the ventricle is in the fifth phase of the cardiac cycle. This phase is termed isovolumetric relaxation which occurs immediately after the second heart sound. In this phase, all valves of the heart are closed. The volume of blood in the ventricle during this phase of the cardiac cycle remains constant. Following the fifth phase of the cardiac cycle is the rapid filling of blood into the ventricle. This cycle corresponds to the opening of the mitral and tricuspid valves located between the left and right atria and ventricle, respectively. The next phase of the cardiac cycle, called diastasis, is the longest phase of the cardiac cycle. In this cycle, the ventricle continues to fill with blood but at a much slower rate. The final phase of diastole corresponds to the first phase of the cardiac cycle. In this phase of the cardiac cycle, the atria contracts to provide additional filling of blood into the ventricle. After the final phase of diastole, the systolic phase of the cardiac cycle begins.


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.


A graphic display of heart sounds produced during the cardiac cycle is?

When do the AV valve close during the cardiac cycle?

AV valves close during the systole phase of the cardiac cycle.


Are both AV valves and semilunar valves ever closed at the same time?

Yes, both valves can be closed at the same time. (Look at a cardiac cycle diagram and look at time period of around 0.45 seconds)

What phase of the cardiac cycle is the heart in when all four valves of the heart are closed and ventricular pressure is building but is not yet great enough to open a valve?

That phase is called as isovolumetric contraction phase.
