During systole the thick muscular walls of the ventricles contract. This happens to both sides of the heart at about the same time.The contraction of the ventricular muscle raises the pressure in the ventricle. The high pressure in the ventricle forces the bicuspid valve to close and forces blood up the aorta.
During systole, the chambers of the heart are in a state of contraction. During this state, blood is pumped into the vessels.
During diastole the thick muscular walls of the ventricles relax.

When is blood ejected from the heart?
Blood is ejected from the heart during systole.
What is meant by systole and diastole?
The ventricles of heart have two states: systole(contraction) and diastole (relaxation). During diastole blood fills the ventricles and during systole the blood is pushed out of the heart into the arteries. The auricles contract anti-phase to the ventricles and chiefly serve to optimally fill the ventricles with blood.http://www.answers.com/systole
When is blood ejected from the ventricles?
during the systole phase of the heart contraction.
The period during which a heart chamber is contracting is called?
Systole
When is the Blood pressure greatest in the arteries?
Blood pressure in the arteries is greatest during systole. Systole is the period of heart contraction, while diastole is the period of heart relaxation.
Would yo be able to feel a pulse during atrial systole only?
yes because during atria systole, the heart muscle tissue contracts.
When is blood pressure in the systematic arteries the greatest?
Blood pressure in the systemic arteries is greatest during systole. Systole is the part of the heart cycle during which the ventricles contract.
Do coronary arteries get their blood supply during systole or diastole?
Coronary arteries primarily receive blood supply during diastole when the heart is relaxed and filling with blood. This is because during systole, when the heart is contracting to push blood out, the coronary arteries can get compressed which reduces blood flow to the heart muscle.
What term is used for Blood pressure during pumping of the heart?
Systole is the term used for contraction, or pumping, of the heart.
What is the force measured during the heart's ventricular contractions called?
systolic pressure
What occurs during atrial systole?
A. systole causes a complete emptying of all blood from the ventricle B. systole increases the pressure in the ventricles ejecting blood out through the cardiac outflow tracts C. systole occupies a longer period of time than does diastole. D. systole is the phase of the cardiac cycle when the heart fills with blood. E. None of the above
What is the stage of the heart cycle in which the heart muscle contracts and the chambers pump blood?
systole
