Actual pumps of the heart?
Ventricles.
What drives the flow of blood away from the heart?
Contraction of the ventricles
When is blood ejected from the ventricles?
during the systole phase of the heart contraction.
Period of heart contraction?
Contraction of the ventricles and atria is called systole. Relaxation is called diastole.
What waves are related to the contraction of the ventricles of the heart?
Q,R,and S waves

What is the name of the waves that are related to the contraction of the ventricles of the heart?
The heart has two contraction cycles, one is the systole and the other one is the diasole. Both are fired by one impulse from the Cranial Nerve X. The delay required for the ventricles to contract are a result of the atrrioventricular node that pauses the impule until the ventricles are filled with blood.
What is a terminal systole?
is the sthrenght of the last contraction of the ventricles of the heart, at the end of the cardiac cycle.
Why do heartbeats occur?
Heart has to beat periodically. Atrial chambers of your heart receive blood from your body and lungs. This is pushed to your ventricles by contraction of the atrial chambers, leading to formation of beats. The ventricles also have to pump blood to your lungs and body by contraction of the ventricles. You need time to fill the ventricles and you need to contract the ventricles. This leads to formation of heart beats. Continuous flow, with out beats is not possible here. Although the blood flows continuously. Because, when the ventricles relax, the arterial system, contracts.
What part of the heart is responsible for causing the rhythmic contraction of the atria and the ventricles?
the sinoatrial (SA) node
What is true about heart valves?
They enforce a one-way blood flow through the heart, operate passively (no active contraction required), and separate atria from ventricles, and ventricles from the large arteries that leave them
