During which phase of the cardiac cycle do the ventricles contract and pump blood into arteries?
During which phase of the cardiac cycle do the ventricles contract and pump blood into arteries?
hard Q10 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Understand cardiac cycle phases
The cardiac cycle consists of systole (contraction) and diastole (relaxation) phases.Step 2: Identify phase when ventricles contract
Systole is the phase when ventricles contract to pump blood into pulmonary artery and aorta.Step 3: Differentiate from arrhythmias
Atrial and ventricular fibrillation are abnormal heart rhythms, not normal phases of the cardiac cycle.Final Answer:
Systole → Option AQuick Check:
Ventricular contraction phase = Systole ✅
Quick Trick: Systole = contraction; Diastole = relaxation.
Common Mistakes:
- Confusing diastole with systole; fibrillation terms are arrhythmias.
