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

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

During the isovolumetric relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle, the AV valves (mitral and tricuspid) are closed to prevent backflow of blood into the atria while the muscle fibers relax. The semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary) are also closed to prevent blood from flowing back into the ventricles as they start to relax.


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

No, both sets of heart valves are not open at the same time during the cardiac cycle. The atrioventricular valves (bicuspid and tricuspid) are open when the ventricles are relaxed (diastole) to allow blood to flow from the atria to the ventricles. The semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary) are open when the ventricles contract (systole) to allow blood to be ejected into the arteries.


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

Phonocardiogram. It is a visual representation of the sounds produced by the heart during the cardiac cycle, including the closure of heart valves. By analyzing the phonocardiogram, healthcare professionals can assess the timing and characteristics of heart sounds to help diagnose heart conditions.


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.


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 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 happens to the A-V valves during vestricular relaxation?

During ventricular relaxation, the A-V valves (tricuspid and mitral valves) remain closed to prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles into the atria. This closure helps maintain the direction of blood flow through the heart and ensures efficient filling of the ventricles during the next phase of the cardiac cycle.


What is the period of isovolumetric contraction is immediately followed by?

The period of isovolumetric contraction is immediately followed by the period of ventricular ejection in the cardiac cycle. During isovolumetric contraction, the ventricles contract while all valves are closed, and this is followed by the opening of the semilunar valves to allow blood to be ejected from the heart during ventricular ejection.
