In which phase of the cardiac cycle does the ventricular filling occur?

Diastole

Explanation

Ventricular filling occurs during relaxation phase.

Which chamber of the heart initiates the electrical impulse that leads to the cardiac cycle?

Right atrium

Explanation

Right atrium initiates the impulse.

Which phase of the cardiac cycle is characterized by both atria and ventricles in diastole?

Ventricular diastole

Explanation

Both chambers are relaxed.

What event marks the end of ventricular systole during the cardiac cycle?

Aortic valve closure

Explanation

Closing of aortic valve.

What is the primary role of the atria during the ventricular ejection phase of the cardiac cycle?

Aid in ventricular filling

Explanation

Assist in completing ventricular filling.

What is the function of the atrioventricular valves during the cardiac cycle?

Prevent backflow of blood into the atria

Explanation

They prevent blood from flowing back into the atria.

During which phase of the cardiac cycle does the aortic valve open?

Ventricular ejection

Explanation

Aortic valve opens during ventricular contraction.

During the cardiac cycle, what is the primary role of the semilunar valves?

Prevent backflow into the ventricles

Explanation

They prevent blood from returning to the ventricles.

What is the term for the volume of blood ejected from the left ventricle in one contraction?

Stroke volume

Explanation

Volume of blood ejected from the left ventricle.

#10

What is the primary factor determining the onset of the isovolumetric contraction phase?

Ventricular depolarization

Explanation

Electrical activation of ventricles.

#11

What is the primary determinant of stroke volume during the cardiac cycle?

Preload

Explanation

Volume of blood entering the heart.

#12

In the cardiac cycle, what event occurs during the isovolumetric contraction phase?

Ventricular volume remains constant

Explanation

No change in ventricular volume.

#13

During the cardiac cycle, what event occurs during the isovolumetric relaxation phase?

Aortic valve closes

Explanation

Aortic valve shuts without change in volume.

#14

What is the primary factor affecting the duration of the cardiac cycle?

Heart rate

Explanation

Heart rate determines cycle length.

#15

What is the term for the volume of blood in the ventricle at the end of diastole, just before ventricular contraction?

End-diastolic volume

Explanation

Volume before ventricular contraction.
