During atrial systole, the SA node ( power house for heart to keep on beating) is unable to send signals to ventricles. But heart has some back up power houses which take over, so the ventricles can still keep on beating but at a slower rate than normal during atrial asystole.

Who comes first atrial systole or ventricle systole?

Atrial systole -- The atrium contracts, then the ventricle.


What percent of blood pass from the atria to the ventricles before the atrial walls contract?

70% the remaining 30% is pushed into the ventricles during atrial systole


Is systolic pressure where the ventricls are relaxing?

Relaxation = Diastole Contraction of the atria=Atrial systole Contraction of the ventricles = Ventricular systole


When do the atria contact?

The atria contract during the cardiac cycle's atrial systole phase, which occurs just before the ventricles contract. This contraction helps push blood from the atria into the ventricles, completing the filling of the ventricles before they contract during ventricular systole. Atrial contraction is facilitated by electrical signals from the sinoatrial (SA) node, ensuring synchronized heart function.


What is the time taken by atrial systole and ventricular systole?

0.4sec


Which part is atrial systole in ECG?

identify the portion of the ECG that represents the electrcal activity associated with atrial systole.


What is the time interval of atrial systole?

The time interval of atrial systole is typically around 0.1 seconds, representing the contraction of the atria to push blood into the ventricles. This phase occurs during the cardiac cycle as part of the heart's pumping action.


Which is the phase of cardiac cycle in whitch the auricles contract?

The phase of the cardiac cycle in which the atria contract is called atrial systole. This occurs during the P wave on an ECG and helps to push blood from the atria into the ventricles.


Is the blood pressure in systemic arteries greatest during atrial systole or ventricular systole?

ventricular systole


What is meant by systole and diastole?

The ventricles of heart have two states: systole(contraction) and diastole (relaxation). During diastole blood fills the ventricles and during systole the blood is pushed out of the heart into the arteries. The auricles contract anti-phase to the ventricles and chiefly serve to optimally fill the ventricles with blood.http://www.answers.com/systole


What happens in the cardiac cycle after the p wave?

The T wave on an ECG reading is the last wave in the cycle, and it represents the repolarisation of the heart. This means that the ventricles have just contracted sending blood around the body, and the heart is now 'resetting' itself ready for the next cycle.


The contraction of ventricles is referred to as what?

systole
