Term
| isovolumentric contraction |
|
Definition
| -period when the ventricles contract, but no movement of blood flows into the arteries. All heart valves are closed. |

Term
|
Definition
| -period when the ventricles relax with no movement of blood from the atrium into the ventricles (pressure in ventricles still higher in atria) but valves are closed. |
|

Term

Definition
-Ventricular filling and atrial systole
-AV valves are open and the semilunar valves are closed. Blood passively flows from the atria into the ventricles filling them to 70%
-all chambers are relaxed and partially filled with blood |
