What else can I help you with?
Relaxation of the ventricles is?
Is the beginning of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles start to relax all four chambers are in diastole.
What is the term that refers to the portion of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles contract and eject blood from the heart?
Systolic pressure
How hydrostatic pressure is generated in the heart?
Hydrostatic pressure is generated by the systole (contraction of the ventricles).
What is a complete cycle of a heart contraction and relaxation called?
Cardiac cycle, which is made up of atrial and ventricular systole and diastole.
How does the conduction system of the heart control the cardiac cycle to ensure enough blood is ejected from the heart?
the sinoatrial node (present in the right atrium) starts the cardiac cycle by producing an action potential which is then transmitted rapidly to the left atrium (causing contraction of both atria) & the ventricles during which are relaxed (diastole) then through the atrioventricular node, the impulses are then transmitted from the atria to the ventricles & then through the bundle of Hiss then left & right bundle branches to all of the ventrricular muscle causing contraction of both ventricles & thus systole Any defect in the conductive system like ectopic foci (focus producing action potential other than the SA node) or AV block (no impulse transmission from atria to ventricles) leads to defective filling of the heart & pumping of blood
Cardiac cycle when do you hear the first heart sound snd second?
when the ventricles closes and between the atria and the ventricles.
Relaxation of the ventricles is?
Is the beginning of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles start to relax all four chambers are in diastole.
What is a terminal systole?
is the sthrenght of the last contraction of the ventricles of the heart, at the end of the cardiac cycle.
What is the term that refers to the portion of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles contract and eject blood from the heart?
Systolic pressure
How hydrostatic pressure is generated in the heart?
Hydrostatic pressure is generated by the systole (contraction of the ventricles).
How is the cardiac cycle timing regulated?
The cardiac cycle timing is primarily regulated by the sinoatrial (SA) node, which serves as the heart's natural pacemaker. It generates electrical impulses that initiate each heartbeat, causing the atria to contract. These impulses then travel to the atrioventricular (AV) node, which introduces a slight delay before transmitting signals to the ventricles, ensuring coordinated contractions. Additional factors, such as autonomic nervous system inputs and hormones, can influence heart rate and the timing of the cardiac cycle.
What part of the cardiac cycle is associated with the QRS complex?
The cardiac cycle refers to a complete heartbeat, including the systole and diastole. The QRS complex occurs during the depolarization of the right and left ventricles of the human heart.
During which phase of the cardiac cycle do the ventricles relax and fill with blood?
diastole is when all 4 chambers of the heart are at rest after a cardiac cycle systole is the term used to describe the heart during a contraction
What are the three distinct stages of Cardiac Cycle?
The three distinct stages of the Cardiac Cycle are diastole, isovolumetric contraction, and systole. During diastole, the heart relaxes and fills with blood. In isovolumetric contraction, the ventricles start to contract but there is no change in volume. Systole is when the ventricles fully contract to pump blood out of the heart.
What two heart chambers contract last in a normal cardiac cycle?
FIRST: Atrial contractions: - Right atrium forces the blood into the Right ventricle (through the tricuspid valve) - Left atrium forces the blood into the Left ventricle (through the the Mitral (or Bicuspid valve) FOLLOWED BY: Ventrical conctractions: - Right ventricle forces the blood into the Pulmonary trunk (through the Pulmonary semilunar valve) - Left ventricle forces the blood into the Aorta (through the Aortic semilunar valve). Contractions in both atrium happen simultaniously, just like contractions in both ventricles. More info can be found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart
What are the factors that affects the cardiac cycle?
The cardiac cycle is influenced by several factors, including heart rate, preload, afterload, and contractility. Heart rate determines the frequency of cycles, while preload refers to the volume of blood in the ventricles at the end of diastole, affecting stroke volume. Afterload is the resistance the heart must overcome to eject blood, and contractility reflects the strength of the heart's contractions. Additionally, autonomic nervous system activity and hormonal influences can also modulate these factors, impacting the overall efficiency of the cardiac cycle.
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.
