e) Pulmonary veins
f) LA
g) Mitral
h) LV
i) Aorta (semilunar)
Full contraction and relaxation is one ____.
Cardiac Cycle
During diastole what part of the heart fills with blood?
Ventricles
What occurs during systole?
Ventricular contraction pushes the blood from he right ventricle to the
pulmonary artery and from the left ventricle into the aorta
During atrial kick the pressure from the left atrial contraction make it possible
for what part of the body to fill with blood?
Left ventricle

,Which side of the heart has higher pressures and which side of the heart has
lower pressures?
Right side has lower pressures
Left side has higher pressures (pumps oxygenated blood to the rest of the
body)
Right ventricle systolic pressure is the pressure at the peak of systole, what is
the numeric range?
15-28mmHg (pushing blood to through pulmonary trunk and artery)
Right ventricle end diastolic pressure is the pressure at the end of the diastole,
right before systole, what is the numeric range of pressure?
0-8mmHg (low because ventricles fill with blood and are relaxing)
Left ventricle systolic pressure is the pressure at the peak of systole, what is
the numeric range of this pressure?
90-140 mmHg (High because it's pushing blood through the aorta to
the rest of the body)

Left ventricular end diastolic pressure us the pressure at the end of diastole,
right before systole, what is the numeric range of this pressure?
4-12mmHg (Low because left ventricles are relaxing filling with blood
from the left atria)
What is the name of the amount of blood pushed from the left ventricle in 1
minute?
Cardiac Output
What is considered normal cardiac output?
5L/min
A decrease in heart rate and a decrease is stroke volume will have what
effect on Cardiac Output (CO)?
Decreased cardiac output
The amount of blood ejected by the ventricle to the body for each cardiac
cycle (heart beat) is called?
Stroke volume
