The Cardiac Cycle Phase 1 - Atrial Systole Made EASY!!

This video delves into the cardiac cycle, focusing on atrial systole. It explains the role of the SA node in initiating atrial contraction, the resulting pressure changes, and the movement of blood into the ventricles. The concept of end diastolic volume is introduced, setting the stage for understanding stroke volume in future videos.

What is the term used to describe the contraction of the Atria in the cardiac cycle?

What role does the SA node play in the cardiac cycle?

What is the significance of the P wave in an electrocardiogram?

How does the contraction of the Atria affect the pressure within them?

What is the name of the valves located between the Atria and the ventricles?

What is the end diastolic volume in the context of the cardiac cycle?

What happens to the pressure in the ventricles after the Atria contract?
