during the cardiac cycle, the heart experiences two isovolumetric states- when do
these occur? - ANSWER -the beginning of ventricular systole and beginning of
ventricular diastole

during ventricular systole, what happens to the pressure within the ventricles? -
ANSWER -it increases

where do heart sounds come from? - ANSWER -closing of valves
