Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Share on Pinterest Diastole is when the heart muscle relaxes and systole is when the heart muscle contracts. Diastole is defined by the following characteristics: Diastole is when the heart muscle relaxes. When the heart relaxes, the chambers of the heart fill with blood, and a person’s blood pressure decreases.

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: -During ventricular contraction, the atria relax (atrial diastole) and receive venous return from both the body and the lungs. Then, in ventricular diastole, the lower chambers relax, allowing initial passive filling of the thick-walled ventricles and emptying of the atria.

Detailed explanation-4: -Diastole is a phase in the cardiac cycle, during which the heart relaxes and allows blood to refill each atrium and each ventricle. Diastole is the longer of the two phases, and the contraction of the muscles in the heart happens rather quickly.
