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.
Are both sets of valves closed during the cardiac cycle?
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 which portion of the cardiac cycle is it possible to induce extra systole?
Extrasystole is an extra ventricular systole that happens during the begging of relaxation (repolarization). Since the cardiac is able to depolarize only after repolarization, any stimulus upon the repolarization period created an increased ventricular contraction or which is also called extrasystole but not a new contraction.
Why is it only possible to induce an extrasystole during relaxation?
The cardiac muscle is incapable of reacting to any stimulus before approximately in the middle of phase 3. It will not react to a normal cardiac stimulus before phase 4.
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.
During which 2 periods of the cardiac cycle do the heart muscle fibers exhibit isometric contractions?
Isovolumetric contraction and Isovolumetric Relaxation
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.
Which valves produce the second heart sound when they snap shut?
Isovolumetric relaxation: In this phase the ventricles relax, the intraventricular pressure decreases. When this occurs, a pressure gradient reversal causes the aortic and pulmonary valves to abruptly close (aortic before pulmonary), causing the second heart sound. Isovolumetric relaxation: In this phase the ventricles relax, the intraventricular pressure decreases. When this occurs, a pressure gradient reversal causes the aortic and pulmonary valves to abruptly close (aortic before pulmonary), causing the second heart sound.

What happens to the volume of blood in the ventricle during the period of isovolumetric contraction?
Both ventricular contraction and atrial diastole take place.
What heart valves are closed during systole?
In late diastole (relaxation phase), the semilunar (pocket) valves close, due to decreasing arterial pressure, to prevent blood flowing back into the ventricles. These stay closed during atrial systole. (But open again during ventricular systole.)Then, as the ventricles contract during ventricular systole, the bicuspid and tricuspid valves close to prevent blood from flowing back to the atria.So, it really depends on which phase of the contraction we are looking at.(Ed: format)
What is the quiescent period as related to the heart?
The quiescent period of the heart is after the ventricle has completed isovolumetric relaxation (or early diastole). In other words, it is after ventricle systole (when the ventricle has completed contraction). During the quiescent period the ventricles are relaxed and begin to fill up with blood. Interestingly, when considering the time of each event (atrial systole, ventricular systole) most of the cardiac cycle has the heart in this relaxation/ quiescent period.
What part of blood pressure denotes the force exerted on the arterial walls during cardiac contraction?
The force exerted on the arterial walls during cardiac contraction is systolic blood pressure. In contrast, diastolic blood pressure is the force exerted during cardiac relaxation.
What happend during isovolumetric contraction?
There are 3 phases in the cardiac cycle: 1) Ventricular filling: mid-to-late diastole; 2) Ventricular systole; and 3) Isovolumetric relaxation: early diastole. In phase two, ventricular systole, the atria relax and the ventricles begin contracting. Their walls close in on the blood in their chambers, and ventricular pressure rises closing the atriaventricular (AV) valve. Because, for a split second, the ventricles are completely closed chambers and blood volume in the chambers remain constant, it is called the isovolumetric contraction phase.Info gathered from Marieb's Human Anatomy and Physiology 8th edition: Chapter 18 Cardiovascular System
Are all valves closed during isovolumetric contraction?
Yes
