What is the name for Blood pressure recorded during ventricular diastole?
diastole
What occurs when ventricular diastole takes place?
Ventricle diastole is the period during which the ventricles are relaxing. During ventricular diastole, the pressure in the (left and right) ventricles drops from the peak that it reaches in systole. When the pressure in the left ventricle drops to below the pressure in the left atrium, the mitral(bicuspid) valve opens, causing accumulated blood from the atrium to flow into the ventricles.
Which two valves are open during ventricular systole and closed during ventricular diastole?
The semi-lunar valves
Recoil of muscular arteries maintains blood flow during ventricular diastole?
yes
What term is used for arterial pressure during ventricular diastole?
diastolic blood pressure
What force continues to drive blood flow through the cardiovascular circulation during ventricular diastole?
gao
Why do the coronary arteries carry a greater blood flow during ventricular diastole than they do during ventricular systole?
Because not all of the blood that is in the heart, which was brought in during diastole, is ejected during systole. There is some back flow of blood, which can't make it over the aortic arch because of lack of pressure, into the heart.
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 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)
When does the pulmonary semilunar valve open?
The two semilunar valves are the aortic valve and the pulmonic valve. The aortic valve opens when the left ventricle contracts, allowing blood to pass into the aorta. The pulmonic valve opens when the right ventricle contracts, allowing blood to pass into the pulmonary artery.
What happens during the t wave in the heart?
During the T-wave the ventricles are repolarizing, preparing for the next beat.
Which of the following events occur during late ventricular diastole?
do not require an external stimulus to reach threshold, while other cardiac cells do.
