Cardiac cycle
Cardiac cycle refers to the one cycle of contraction and relaxation of the cardiac muscles or one heartbeat.
A heart beat consists of contraction and relaxation of atria and ventricles.
The phase of contraction is referred to as systole while the phase of relaxation is called diastole.
The term joint diastole is used when both atria and ventricles are undergoing relaxation or diastole together
During joint diastole, the blood is carried from superior and inferior vena cava into the atria and from atria to the ventricles through auriculoventricular valves
Blood flow is then restricted from ventricle to aorta and pulmonary trunk
As we learnt:
-
The total diastolic time of ventricle in cardiac cycle is 0-5 sec. Hence, the correct answer is option b.
