Question
Chapter 13, Problem 38RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The pressure value at which blood starts to leave the ventricles and enters the aorta.
Introduction:
Systolic pressure causes the ejection or release of blood from the left ventricle to the aorta. During systolic pressure, the heart muscle starts a contraction which causes the ejection or release of blood from the ventricle. Systole is the phase of contraction, whereas the diastole phase involves the relaxation of the heart chambers.
