Solution
Diagrammatic representation of Cardiac Cycle
Ventricular systole (VS):
- The impulse originating from SA node reaches the AV node and it gets excited. The AV node sends impulses to bundle of His and from bundle of His to Purkinje fibers. Purkinje fibers further spread impulses all over the wall of ventricles.
- Due to this, ventricular wall contracts causing ventricular systole. During ventricular systole, right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood into pulmonary trunk and left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood into aorta.
- During ventricular systole the cuspid valves close both the atrioventricular apertures preventing blood flow into atria (lubb sound is heard).
