Are the AV valves open or closed during ventricular systole?
As pressure builds up in the ventricles during systole, the AV valves open and allow blood to leave the heart. As ventricular systole starts, the AV valves close, which immediately opens the semilunar valves. The pressure from the atrial contractions opens the semilunar valves. Are the AV valves open or closed during ventricular diastole?
What event causes the AV valves to open or close?
What event within the heart causes the AV valves to open atrial pressure > ventricular pressure When are the semi lunar valves closed during the period of relaxation of the heart as a whole during atrial contraction
When are the atria and ventricles contract and relax?
contraction of the ventricles Diastole complete relaxation of the ventricles Cardiac cycle one complete heartbeat, both atria and ventricles contract and relax When are the AV valves closed during ventricular systole What event within the heart causes the AV valves to open atrial pressure > ventricular pressure When are the semi lunar valves closed
What happens when valves close in the heart?
When valves close in the heart, the blood hits against the wall and makes a noise what is the first heart sound and what causes it? s1, the closing of the AV valve what is the second heart sound and what causes it? s2, the closing of the semilunar valves what is happening during s1? ventricular systole what happens during s2? diastole

Which ventricle empties into the pulmonary circuit?
The left ventricle empties into the pulmonary circuit.
Which area of the heart has the exit through which the blood leaves?
Match the area of the heart with the "exit" through which the blood leaves: Right atrium.
What wave reflects the depolarization of the atria?
The P wave reflects the depolarization of the atria.
What is the first sound of the heart?
The first heart sound (the "lub" of the "lub-dup") is generated by the closure of the atrioventricular valves.
Which node initiates heart contraction?
The sinoatrial node, by spontaneously depolarizing faster than the atrioventricular node, initiates heart contraction.
Where does the impulse originate from in the heart?
SA node, AV node, bundle of His, bundle branches, and Purkinje fibers. The impulses of the heart originate at the SA node (pacemaker). The impulse is then transmitted to the AV node (atrioventricular node), where the impulse slows down to allow the atria to completely contract and thereby fill the adjacent ventricles.
Which veins deliver oxygenated blood to the left atrium?
The pulmonary veins deliver oxygenated blood to the left atrium.
What causes narrowing of valves?
narrowing of a valve, caused by scarring
Where does the pulmonary vein go?
from the vena cavies and the pulmonary veins into the atrium and the ventricles
What is S2 valve?
s2, the closing of the semilunar valves
Which valve prevents flow from the right ventricle to the right atrium?
right atrium --Flow from the right ventricle to the right atrium is prevented by the right atrioventricular valve.
Which ventricle empties into the pulmonary trunk?
The right ventricle empties into the pulmonary trunk.
Which side of the heart pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs?
left ventricle. The right side of the heart is considered the systemic circuit pump. False -- The right side of the heart pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs to be re-oxygenated. For this reason, the right side of the heart is considered the pulmonary circuit pump.
What would increase cardiac output?
Contractility would be increased, which would increase cardiac output. End-systolic volume would be increased, which would increase cardiac output. Preload would be increased, which would increase cardiac output. Preload would be increased, which would increase cardiac output.
