Blood Valve Pressure Bicuspid La Open Lv Semi Lunar

Front Describe the Cardiac Cycle on the left side
Back - blood from pulmonary vein enters LA
- LA fills with blood
- bicuspid valve open
- passive filling of LV
- semi-lunar valve shut

- atrial systole, atrial blood pressure increases
- blood moves down pressure gradient into ventricles through open bicuspid valve
- semi-lunar valve shut

- ventricular systole
- bicuspid valve closes to prevent backflow
- ventricular blood pressure increases
- semi lunar valve opens
- blood moves down pressure gradient from LV into aorta
