Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is diastole?
A
the atria contract (atrial systole) and push blood into the ventricles; then, as the atria start to relax, the ventricles contract (ventricular systole) and pump blood out of the heart
B
phase of the heartbeat when the heart muscle relaxes and allows the chambers to fill with blood.
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cardiac diastole is the period of the cardiac cycle when, after contraction, the heart relaxes and expands while refilling with blood returning from the circulatory system.

Detailed explanation-2: -Diastole is the relaxation phase of the heartbeat. During this phase, the ventricles relax and blood flows through the left and right atria from the vena cava and pulmonary veins. Systole is the contraction phase of the heartbeat.

Detailed explanation-3: -The period of relaxation that occurs as the chambers fill with blood is called diastole. Both the atria and ventricles undergo systole and diastole, and it is essential that these components be carefully regulated and coordinated to ensure blood is pumped efficiently to the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cardiac cycle refers to the alternating contraction and relaxation of the myocardium in the walls of the heart chambers, coordinated by the conduction system, during one heartbeat. Systole is the contraction phase of the cardiac cycle, and diastole is the relaxation phase.

Detailed explanation-5: -diastole, in the cardiac cycle, period of relaxation of the heart muscle, accompanied by the filling of the chambers with blood. Diastole is followed in the cardiac cycle by a period of contraction, or systole (q.v.), of the heart muscle.
