Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The contraction of the ventricles is called
A
systole
B
diastole
C
flexion
D
tension
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cardiac cycle events can be divided into diastole and systole. Diastole represents ventricular filling, and systole represents ventricular contraction/ejection. Systole and diastole occur in both the right and left heart, though with very different pressures (see hemodynamics below).

Detailed explanation-2: -Overview. Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are extra heartbeats that begin in one of the heart’s two lower pumping chambers (ventricles). These extra beats disrupt the regular heart rhythm, sometimes causing a sensation of a fluttering or a skipped beat in the chest.
