What is the cardiac cycle?
A
Blood flow through the heart
B
Blood flow between the heart and lungs
C
Blood flow between the heart and the body
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: -The cardiac cycle describes all the activities of the heart through one complete heartbeat-that is, through one contraction and relaxation of both the atria and ventricles. A contraction event (of either the atria or ventricles) is referred to as systole, and a relaxation event is referred to as diastole.
