cardiac cycle
Normal is less than 120 (mmHg)
ventricular systole
increasing! :D
The pressure in the aorta is greatest during ventricular systole, which is when the heart contracts and pumps blood into the aorta. This creates a surge in pressure that is known as systolic blood pressure.
ventricular systole
Systolic Pressure
yes during ventricular systole AV valves are closed.
systolic pressure
The term used for arterial pressure during ventricular systole is systolic blood pressure. It represents the maximum pressure exerted on the walls of the arteries when the heart contracts and pumps blood into the circulatory system.
Systole is the phase during which the heart contracts resulting in the movement of blood to the peripheral parts of the body. The contractile force causes increase in the pressure of the arteries, greater than the diastole which makes it possible for the blood to reach the body.
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)
