A. systole causes a complete emptying of all blood from the ventricle
B. systole increases the pressure in the ventricles ejecting blood out through the cardiac outflow tracts
C. systole occupies a longer period of time than does diastole.
D. systole is the phase of the cardiac cycle when the heart fills with blood.
E. None of the above
Ventricular Contraction occurs during Ventricular systole.
when the heart ventricular muscle contracts, squeezing blood out to the lungs/body
The heart muscle tissues contract.
Blood will be pumped into the aorta.
ventricular systole
0.4sec
identify the portion of the ECG that represents the electrcal activity associated with atrial systole.
yes because during atria systole, the heart muscle tissue contracts.
During atrial systole, the SA node ( power house for heart to keep on beating) is unable to send signals to ventricles. But heart has some back up power houses which take over, so the ventricles can still keep on beating but at a slower rate than normal during atrial asystole.
No. Most (~70%) of ventricular filling occurs passively, without atrial contraction.
ventricular systole
Atrial systole -- The atrium contracts, then the ventricle.
0.4sec
identify the portion of the ECG that represents the electrcal activity associated with atrial systole.
yes because during atria systole, the heart muscle tissue contracts.
70% the remaining 30% is pushed into the ventricles during atrial systole
During atrial systole, the SA node ( power house for heart to keep on beating) is unable to send signals to ventricles. But heart has some back up power houses which take over, so the ventricles can still keep on beating but at a slower rate than normal during atrial asystole.
No it does not. Atrial repolarization is generally not visible on the telemetry strip because it happens at the same time as ventricular depolarization (QRS complex). The P wave represents atrial DEpolarization (and atrial systole). Atrial repolarization happens during atrial diastole (and ventricular systole).
The SA node makes the action potential for the heart. Atrial systole must occur after the action potential.
Relaxation = Diastole Contraction of the atria=Atrial systole Contraction of the ventricles = Ventricular systole
The atrial repolarization occurs during the QRS complex of the ECG but is obscured by the ventricle depolarization.
