Blood pressure in the arteries is greatest during systole. Systole is the period of heart contraction, while diastole is the period of heart relaxation.


What is your heart doing when it is in systole?

Diastole is when a given chamber of the heart is relaxing. There is atrial diastole and ventricular diastole. Most of the time when talking about diastole we are referring to the ventricular because that is when we measure the diastolic (low) pressure in your systemic arteries, usually the brachial artery.


What coronary arteries fill with blood to deliver to heart during what phase?

diastole


Why is blood pressure highest just after a ventricular systole and lowest during ventricular diastole?

Systole is the phase during which the heart contracts resulting in the movement of blood to the peripheral parts of the body. The contractile force causes increase in the pressure of the arteries, greater than the diastole which makes it possible for the blood to reach the body.

Do coronary arteries get their blood supply during systole or diastole?

Coronary arteries primarily receive blood supply during diastole when the heart is relaxed and filling with blood. This is because during systole, when the heart is contracting to push blood out, the coronary arteries can get compressed which reduces blood flow to the heart muscle.


What period does the large volume of blood enter the arteries?

diastole


What smooths the flow of blood leaving the ventricle?

The elastic layer of the arteries maintains blood pressure by stretching at each systole and recoiling at each diastole. This helps to smooth pressure surges.


When do coronary arteries primarily receive blood flow?

during diastole


When do the coronary arteries receive the majority of the arterial blood supply?

Diastole


What is the name for Blood pressure recorded during ventricular diastole?
