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: -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.
