Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Systole represents the contraction of the ventricles as they force blood out of the heart.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
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, 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-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: -During ventricular systole the ventricles are contracting and vigorously pulsing (or ejecting) two separated blood supplies from the heart-one to the lungs and one to all other body organs and systems-while the two atria are relaxed (atrial diastole).
