Question 12

The two cycles of contractions of the heart

Answer 12

Systole and diastole

Question 13

The contraction of the heart muscle

Answer 13

Systole

Question 14

The relaxation of the heart muscle

Diastole

Question 15

The cause of the atrioventricular valves to close makes “Lub” sound

Answer 15

Ventricular systole

Question 16

Ventricles are filled with blood during this cycle as semilunar valves close to prevent blood from falling back into the ventricles making the dub sound
