The ventricular ejection phase is after the isovolumetric contraction phase. The ventricular ejection phase of the cardiac cycle is when the pressure in the ventricle becomes higher than the pressure in the aorta or pulmonary trunk (depending on which ventricle we are looking at). The high pressure in the ventricle will cause blood to be ejected from the ventricle into the aorta or pulmonary trunk. This is because blood moves from higher to lower pressure. Another way to consider the high pressure concept, is to picture the blood having a high kinetic energy (bouncing on the walls of the ventricle) and the blood molecules want to decrease their kinetic energy by moving to a less crowded area (such as the aorta or pulmonary trunk). Also, after the ventricular ejection phase, the blood will attempt to move back into the ventricle from the aorta or pulmonary trunk. This is inhibited by a semilunar valve closing (which is the dub sound in the common heartbeat sound, lub dub).

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.


What is the phase in the cardiac cycle in which the ventricles relax between contractions?

The ventricles relax during diastole.


What is the period during the cardiac cycle when the ventricles are completely closed and blood volume in them remains constant as the ventricles contract?

The period during the cardiac cycle when the ventricles are completely closed and blood volume remains constant as the ventricles contract is known as isovolumetric contraction. During this phase, the ventricular pressure rises, but both the atrioventricular and semilunar valves are closed, preventing any blood from entering or exiting the ventricles. This phase occurs after the ventricles have filled with blood and just before the ejection of blood into the arteries.


Which is the phase of cardiac cycle in which the auricles contract?

The auricles will contract during the systolic phase of the cardiac cycle. This is one of the numbers that is measured when a patient has their blood pressure taken.


During what phase of cardiac cycle are all four chambers in diastole?

Once the ventricles contraction phase is over, the diastole starts. Then all the four chambers are in diastole, till the atria start to contract.


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.


When do the atria contract?

The atria contract during the cardiac cycle's atrial systole phase, which occurs after the ventricles have filled with blood. This contraction is triggered by the electrical impulse from the sinoatrial (SA) node, helping to push blood from the atria into the ventricles. Atrial contraction happens just before the ventricles contract, ensuring efficient blood flow through the heart.


When do the atria contact?

The atria contract during the cardiac cycle's atrial systole phase, which occurs just before the ventricles contract. This contraction helps push blood from the atria into the ventricles, completing the filling of the ventricles before they contract during ventricular systole. Atrial contraction is facilitated by electrical signals from the sinoatrial (SA) node, ensuring synchronized heart function.


When does blood enter the ventricles?

Blood enters the ventricles during the diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle. Specifically, it flows from the atria into the ventricles when the atrioventricular (AV) valves (tricuspid and mitral valves) open, allowing blood to fill the ventricles as they relax. This process occurs just before the ventricles contract to pump blood out to the lungs and the rest of the body.


During which phase of the cardiac cycle do the ventricles relax and fill with blood?

diastole is when all 4 chambers of the heart are at rest after a cardiac cycle systole is the term used to describe the heart during a contraction


Which phase in cardiac cycle is systolic pressure?

Blood flows into the relaxed atria while the ventricles contract. <rephrased> The ventricles contract, carrying blood into the aorta, and blood flows into the relaxed atria.


What is the relaxing phase of the cardiac cycle?

The relaxing phase of the cardiac cycle is called diastole. During diastole, the heart chambers (atria and ventricles) relax, allowing them to fill with blood. This is followed by the contracting phase called systole.
