Question
The cardiac cycle consists of two parts. Which option correctly identifies both?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The cardiac cycle consists of systole (contraction of the heart muscle) and diastole (relaxation of the heart muscle). These alternating phases allow the heart to pump blood efficiently while refilling between beats.
Hint
One phase involves contraction and pumping; the other involves relaxation and filling.
