Diastole
The stage of the cardiac cycle that precedes the resting period is known as diastole. During diastole, the heart relaxes and fills with blood before contracting again during systole.
The relaxing phase of the cardiac cycle is called diastole. During diastole, the heart chambers (atria and ventricles) relax, allowing them to fill with blood. This is followed by the contracting phase called systole.
During this period, cardiac muscle fibers are in a resting state called diastole. They remain relaxed and do not contract, allowing the heart chambers to fill with blood. This phase is vital for the heart to rest and prepare for the next contraction during systole.
The Ordovician period follows the extinction at the end of the Cambrian period.
Cardiac filling is also referred to as diastole, which is the period of the cardiac cycle when the heart muscle relaxes and fills with blood.
The relative refractory period of the T wave in the cardiac cycle represents a phase during which the heart muscle is partially repolarized and can be stimulated to contract again, but only by a stronger-than-normal stimulus. This period follows the absolute refractory period, where the heart cannot be stimulated regardless of the strength of the stimulus. The relative refractory period is crucial for maintaining the heart's rhythm and preventing arrhythmias, as it indicates the time during which the cardiac cells are recovering but not fully ready for another action potential.
Interphase is a period of a cell's life. It used to be called the resting period, but that name was discarded when scientists realized how much activity takes place during its time.~Alice
ventricular systole
The three periods of a myogram, which records muscle contractions, are the latent period, contraction period, and relaxation period. The latent period is the brief time between stimulus application and the onset of muscle contraction. The contraction period follows, during which the muscle fibers actively shorten and generate tension. Finally, the relaxation period occurs as the muscle fibers return to their resting state, allowing the muscle to relax after contraction.
After depolarization, the neuron undergoes repolarization, during which the cell's membrane potential returns to resting state. This is followed by hyperpolarization, where the membrane potential briefly becomes more negative than the resting state, before returning to its baseline. Finally, the neuron enters a refractory period, during which it is temporarily unable to generate another action potential.
interkinesis, which is a brief period between the end of telophase I and the beginning of prophase II. During interkinesis, the cell prepares for the next division by briefly resting and allowing time for the chromosomes to decondense.
1/2500 sec is the absolute refractory period.
