Which is the correct sequence of events of the cardiac cycle?

a. Ventricular filling → isovolumetric relaxation → ventricular ejection → isovolumetric contraction

b. Ventricular filling → isovolumetric contraction → ventricular ejection → isovolumetric relaxation

c. Ventricular filling → isovolumetric contraction → isovolumetric relaxation → ventricular ejection

d. Ventricular filling → isovolumetric relaxation → isovolumetric contraction → ventricular ejection

e. Ventricular filling → ventricular ejection → isovolumetric contraction → isovolumetric relaxation

The cardiac cycle is made up of 4 different stages through which blood flows to and from the heart. Each stage is characterized by movements of the tissues of the heart either in the opening, filling, closing, or emptying the heart of blood. There is a particular pattern that exists in this cycle, and it is as follows:

Ventricular filling, also known as ventricular diastole. Here, the heart opens to receive blood from the lungs and other parts of the body. Next is the isovolumetric relaxation where the heart relaxes for blood to flow into it. The isovolumetric contraction comes next, with the ventricles contract to close the ventricles from receiving any more blood. After this, ventricular ejection, also known as ventricular systole occurs. It is the process where blood is forced or pumped out of the heart. At this point, the heart prepares to relax to start a new cycle.

Math Calculus — AID—

Total time spent: 4 hours 15 minutes (it is equivalent to 255 minutes). Let the flight time from Paris to Glasgow be X. Then the flight time from Glasgow to Paris will be (X+10). We have an equation with one unknown variable: X + 45 + (X+10) = 255 ⇒ X = 100 So the […]

What were the typical crafts for Maya?

Mayans are well-known as great pottery makers. They did not use the pottery wheel. However,the tecnique they used was coiling consecutive rings of clay on top of each other and smoothing the surface by hand. Also, they were good when it came to working with stone – stone craving is another important craft of Maya. Many […]

What defines a free market?

The efficient working of a free market economy requires that the producer firms must have incentives to work hard and produce goods and services at the lowest possible cost per unit of output Market economies provide incentives to the firms and individuals by recognising and enforcing the property rights of the individuals and firms to […]

How does 3D printing work?

There are three different ways 3D printers work but they all rely on the printer converting a design into individual 2D slices which are then combined to make the final 3D object. The first method uses a pool of chemicals that turns solid when light, typically a UV laser, is shone on to it. The […]

Cigarette smoking causes emphysema.

Nearly everyone knows that smoking causes lung cancer, but did you know that smoking causes a number of other serious lung diseases? These include chronic bronchitis and emphysema, collectively known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is the fourth largest killer of Australians and smoking is the most important risk factor for COPD. When […]
