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.

During which phase of the cardiac cycle do the ventricles of the heart contract?

There are many phases of the cardiac cycle- in total five stages occur. phase 1) - Isovolumetric ventricular contraction In response to ventricular depolarization, tension in the ventricles increases. The rise in pressure within the ventricles leads closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves. The pulmonic and aortic valves stay closes during the entire phase. 2) ventricular ejection: When ventricular pressure exceeds aortic and pulmonary arterial pressure 80MMHG- the aortic and pulmonic valves open and the ventricles eject 70% of the blood. 3) Isovolumetric relaxation: when ventricular pressure falls below pressure in the aorta and pulmonary artery, the aortic and pulmonic valves close. All valves are closed during this phase. Atrial diastole occurs as blood fills the atria.4) ventricular filling: atrial pressure exceeds ventricular pressure which causes the mitral and tricuspid valves to open. Blood then flows passively into the ventricles. About 70% of ventricular filling takes place during this phase. 5) atrial systole: known as the atrial kick, atrial systole coinciding with late ventricular diastole supplies the ventricles with the remaining blood for each heart beat. Diastole: This occurs in-between heartbeats to allow blood to refill the heartSystole: when the atria and ventricles contact For more information e-mail me: Elliottcollins@hotmail.co.uk I also have a VERY helpfull link belowHow_heart_works
