Blood Valves Heart Atria Systole Occurs;  Forces Semilunar

Front Starting with the heart full of blood outline the stages of the cardiac cycle. ( 5 marks)
Back atria contract/atrial systole occurs; 
forces blood into ventricles; 
semilunar valves (in veins) prevent back flow; 
ventricles contract/ventricular systole occurs; 
forces blood into aorta/pulmonary artery; 
atrio-ventricular valves shut preventing back flow into atria; 
atria and ventricles then relax so heart fills with blood; 
semilunar valves (in arches) are closed at this stage
