Question
Answer
STEP 1 - Atrial Systole   As atria contract, rising atrial pressures push blood into the ventricles thru the open right and left AV valves.  
🗑
STEP 2 - Atrial Systole   Start of atrial systole, ventricles already filled 70%. As atria contract, rising atrial pressure provide the remaining 30 percent by pushing blood thru the open AV valves. Atrial systole 'tops off' ventricles.  
🗑
STEP 3 - Atrial Systole   End of atrial systole, each ventricle contains maximum amount of blood that it will hold in cardiac cycle = End diastolic volume EDV  
🗑
STEP 4 - Ventricular Systole.   ventricles are contracting. bloow flow has yet to occur. ventricles contract isometrically: generate tension and pressure. flow does not occur. isovolumetric contraction: all valves closed. volume constant and pressure rises.  
🗑
STEP 5 - Ventricular Systole   Once ventricle pressure exceeds that in arterial trunks. semilunar valves open and blood flows into pulmonary and aortic trunks = ventricular ejection. isotonically contract: muscle cells shorten. tension constant.  
🗑
STEP 6 - Ventricular Systole   near end of VS, ventricular pressure falls.blood in aorta + pulmonary trunk now starts to flow twrd ventricles-> closes semilunar valves. pressure rises again as arterial walls recoil, amt of blood remaining in ventricle = end systolic volume  
🗑
STEP 7 - Ventricular Diastole   all heart valves closed.vent. myocardium relaxing vent pressures higher than atrial pressures blood cannot flow into ventricles. isovolumetric relaxation; rapid drop in pressure over this period  
🗑
STEP 8 - Ventricular Diastole   when ventricular pressure fall below atria. atrial pressure forces valves open.blood flows into ventricles. both atria + vent = diatole. vent. pressure continues to fall > chambers expand.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
