What else can I help you with?
To which heart chambers do the terms systole and diastole usually apply?
The terms systole and diastole most often apply to the Right and Left Ventricles
How is pulse related to systole and diastole?
Systole is when a chamber of the heart (i.e. atrial vs. ventricular systole) is contracting. Diastole is when a chamber of the heart is relaxing. Without qualifying which chamber it is usually assumed to mean the left ventricle.Systole refers to when the heart is contracted and diastole refers to when the heart is relaxed.
What is it called when a heart chamber contract?
This is called systole. When the heart chambers relax, it is called distole. I hope that this helps you out!
Is diastole the highest pressure in the arteries?
No, diastole is the period when a particular chamber of the heart relaxes. the highest pressure period is during systole.
To Which heart chambers do the terms systole and diastole most often apply?
the ventricles
What are the two qualities of the heart beat which must be observed?
diastole and systole diastole and systole
What is systole and diastole and how this relates to the two figures obtained when blood pressure is taken?
I think systole is when the heart contracts- the "lub" of the heart- and diastole is when the heart relaxes- the "dub" of the heart. Systole is the numerator of the fraction and diastole is the denominator of the fraction. Ex. 120/80 120 is systole and 80 is diastole
The contraction of the ventricles is referred to as systole and the period of ventricular relaxation is called?
I believe that is called diastole, in contrast to systole, the contraction of the heart muscles.
What is your heart doing when it is in systole?
Diastole is when a given chamber of the heart is relaxing. There is atrial diastole and ventricular diastole. Most of the time when talking about diastole we are referring to the ventricular because that is when we measure the diastolic (low) pressure in your systemic arteries, usually the brachial artery.
Does the heart spend more time in systole or diastole of what benefit is this?
The heart spends more time in diastole.
Period of heart contraction?
Contraction of the ventricles and atria is called systole. Relaxation is called diastole.
What is meant by systole and diastole?
The ventricles of heart have two states: systole(contraction) and diastole (relaxation). During diastole blood fills the ventricles and during systole the blood is pushed out of the heart into the arteries. The auricles contract anti-phase to the ventricles and chiefly serve to optimally fill the ventricles with blood.http://www.answers.com/systole
