What else can I help you with?
What is the phase of ventricular contraction called?
It is called systole. This is when the ventricles contract and eject blood into the lungs (from the right ventricle) or into the systemic circulation (from left ventricle).
What are the two main phases of a heartbeat?
There is the contraction of the atria and the contraction of the ventricles. When the atria contract, the AV valves are open, allowing the blood to fall into the ventricles. The AV valves then close, and the ventricles contract, pumping the blood out into the arteries.
What is the phase of the cardiac cycle that is caused by the sliding of actin and myosin?
The phase of the cardiac cycle caused by the sliding of actin and myosin is systole. During systole, the heart muscle contracts to pump blood out of the heart into the circulation. This contraction is driven by the sliding of actin and myosin filaments in the cardiac muscle cells.
What vessels contain elastic fibers in the walls that are stretched during systole?
Capillaries
Which is the phase of cardiac cycle in whitch the auricles contract?
The phase of the cardiac cycle in which the atria contract is called atrial systole. This occurs during the P wave on an ECG and helps to push blood from the atria into the ventricles.
To what does the term ventricular systole refer?
d. contraction of the ventricles
Which heart chamber do the terms systole and diastole most ofter apply?
Systole and diastole most often refer to the ventricle of the heart. Systole is contraction of the ventricle, and diastole is the relaxation of the ventricle.
Is the blood pressure in systemic arteries greatest during atrial systole or ventricular systole?
ventricular systole
What is the contractive phase of heartbeat?
systole
Period of heart contraction?
Contraction of the ventricles and atria is called systole. Relaxation is called diastole.
What is the time taken by atrial systole and ventricular systole?
0.4sec
What is a contraction phase of the heartbeat?
The cardiac cycle of the heart has two phases - the diastole phase and systole phase. In the systole phase, the ventricles contract and pump blood into the arteries.
The terms systole and diastole refer respectively to the?
Systole refers to the phase of the heartbeat when the heart muscle contracts and blood is pushed out of the heart chambers. Diastole refers to the phase when the heart muscle relaxes and the heart chambers fill with blood.
Who comes first atrial systole or ventricle systole?
Atrial systole -- The atrium contracts, then the ventricle.
A diagram of the ventricular systole in the heart?
This can be seen by clicing on the link below ( The ventricular systole )
What are the two qualities of the heart beat which must be observed?
diastole and systole diastole and systole
What does the term systole mean?
Systole is the period of heart contraction within the cardiac cycle.
