ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Ventricular systole: lasts about 0.3 seconds-both ventricles contract, blood is forced to the lungs via the pulmonary trunk, and the rest of the body via the aorta. Atrial diastole: lasting about 0.7 seconds-relaxation of the atria, during which the atria fill with blood from the large veins (the vena cavae).

Detailed explanation-2: -During systole, the two ventricles develop pressure and eject blood into the pulmonary artery and aorta. At this time the AV valves are closed and the semilunar valves are open. The semilunar valves are closed and the AV valves are open during diastole.

Detailed explanation-3: -Systole represents the time during which the left and right ventricles contract and eject blood into the aorta and pulmonary artery, respectively. During systole, the aortic and pulmonic valves open to permit ejection into the aorta and pulmonary artery.

Detailed explanation-4: -systole, period of contraction of the ventricles of the heart that occurs between the first and second heart sounds of the cardiac cycle (the sequence of events in a single heart beat). Systole causes the ejection of blood into the aorta and pulmonary trunk.

Detailed explanation-5: -In the systole phase, blood is forced to flow from the two atria into their respective ventricles as the atrial muscles contract due to the depolarization of the atria.
