Circulatory Pathways

Question

During ventricular systole, ventricular ejection begins as the

Easy

A

AV valves close
B

AV valves open
C

semilunar valves close
D

semilunar valves open

Solution

Ventricular systole increases the ventricular pressure causing the closure of tricuspid and bicuspid valves due to attempted backflow of blood into the atria. As the ventricular pressure increases further, the semilunar valves guarding the pulmonary artery (right side) and the aorta (left side) are forced open, allowing the blood in the ventricles to flow through these vessels into the circulatory pathways.
