QUESTION 10 OF 147
Diastole phase
Correct Answer: ventricles relax, heart fills with blood
2/3 of cycle
AV valves (tricuspid and mitral) are OPEN
pressure in atria is higher than in ventricles.
1st filling phase is called early or protodiastolic filling.
2nd filling is called presystole or atrial systole
QUESTION 11 OF 147
Systole phase
Correct Answer: blood pumped from ventricles and fills pulmonary and systemic arteries
1/3 of cardiac cycle
ventricular pressure is now HIGHER than that of atria, causing atria to close. After blood ejection, pressure
falls in ventricles. When pressure falls below pressure in aorta, some blood flows backward towards ventricle,
causing aortic valve to shut.
