When you feel cold, there are sensors in your skin that tell the brain you need to warm up. The brain sends messages, by way of

nerves, to the muscles in your body causing them to contract and relax very quickly resulting in a shiver. The movement of the muscles during a shiver generates heat which can be used to warm up the surrounding tissues. Which characteristic(s) of life is being represented during this action?
A) respond to stimuli
B) maintain homeostasis
C) growth and adaptation

KengaRu [80]

The phase in the cardiac cycle when the mitral valve is closed and the aortic valve is open is the systolic ejection phase (Option D). It is the second phase of the ventricular systole.

The cardiac cycle is a sequence of contraction and relaxation of the atria and ventricles to pump blood throughout the body.

This cycle (cardiac cycle) can be divided into two major periods: diastole and systole.

The diastole is when the heart relaxes and refills with blood, while the systole is when the heart contracts and pumps blood.

The systolic ejection phase is the second phase of the ventricular systole where blood is pumped from the ventricle.
