Blood Cardiac Cycle Systole Contract Push Ventricles Stages

The cardiac cycle consists of diastole (chambers relax and fill), atrial systole (atria contract and push blood into ventricles), and ventricular systole (ventricles contract and pump blood out).

The cardiac cycle consists of diastole (chambers relax and fill), atrial systole (atria contract and push blood into ventricles), and ventricular systole (ventricles contract and pump blood out).

Front Name the stages in the cardiac cycle and outline what is happening at each stage.
Back Cardiac cycle stages:
  • Diastole (atrial and ventricular) - chambers relaxed, filling with blood
  • Atrial systole - atria contract and push blood into ventricles
  • Ventricular systole - ventricles contract and push blood out thru aorta and pulm artery
