Q3
Considering the left ventricle, isovolumetric ventricular contraction occurs when: Select one: a. the left ventricle is still filling with blood and therefore cannot eject blood during this time. b. transitioning from one cardiac cycle to the next. c. blood has been ejected from the left ventricle which marks the end of ventricular systole. d. left ventricular pressure is greater than atrial pressure so the ventricle cannot eject blood. e. the \( A V \) valve is closed and the pressure produced by the left ventricle is not sufficient to open the aortic valve.
Answer: e. the AV valve is closed and the pressure produced by the left ventricle is not sufficient to open the aortic valve. Isometric ventricular contraction takes p
