MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Systole is when the heart muscle contracts. When the heart contracts, it pushes the blood out of the heart and into the large blood vessels of the circulatory system. From here, the blood goes to all of the organs and tissues of the body. During systole, a person’s blood pressure increases.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cardiac cycle is essentially split into two phases, systole (the contraction phase) and diastole (the relaxation phase).

Detailed explanation-3: -The maximum pressure at which the blood leaves the heart through the main artery (Aorta) during ventricular contraction is called systolic pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Blood pressure is measured using two numbers: The first number, called systolic blood pressure, measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats. The second number, called diastolic blood pressure, measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart rests between beats.
