Steps 1-6

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Steps
Action
Action Defined
Cardiac Cycle Step 1   Isovolumetric Contraction (vol. of blood in ventricles is the EDV)   a. QRS has just occurred. b. Contraction of ventricles causes the Ventricular pressure to rise above atrial pressure. AV valves CLOSE. c. Ventricular Pressure is less than Aortic Pressure and the Semilunar valves CLOSE.  
🗑
Cardiac Cycle Step 2   Ejection (Vol. of blood ejected: SV)   a.Contraction of ventricle -> ventricular preasure rises above Aortic pressure -> Semilunar valves OPEN. b.Ventricular pressure higher than atrial pressure -> AV valves CLOSED.  
🗑
Cardiac Cycle Step 3   Ventricular Pressure drops below Aortic Pressure   the T wave occurs  
🗑
Cardiac Cycle Step 4   Isovolumetric Relaxation (vol. of blood in the ventricle: ESV)   a. Back Pressure causes semilunar valves to CLOSE. b. AV Valves are still CLOSED.  
🗑
Cardiac Cycle Step 5   Rapid Filling of Ventricles   a.ventricular pressure drops below atrial pressure. b. AV valves OPEN c. Rapid ventricular filling occurs.  
🗑
Cardiac Cycle Step 6   Atrial Systole   Atrial Contraction. Push 10-30% more blood into the ventricle.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
