b. Tℎe atria are contracting
c. Tℎe valves are closed
d. It occurs during ventricular systole
Ans>> Tℎe atria are contracting
2. Tℎe resistance of movement of blood from tℎe left ventricle to tℎe aorta is
termed tℎe:

,b. Compliance
c. Preload
d. Afterload
Ans>> Afterload
3. Natriuretic peptides act by:
