The cardiac cycle consists of two phases; a period where the heart muscle is relaxed, called <u>diastole</u>, and a period of contraction, called <u>systole</u>.
These are then divided into four stages. These are;
1.<u>Ventricular Filling Period (VPF)</u>
2. <u>Isovolumetric Contraction Period (ICP)</u>
3. <u>Ventricular Ejection Period (VEP)</u>
4.<u> Isovolumetric Relaxation Period (IRP)</u>
At rest, cardiac diastole lasts for approximately 0.5 seconds, and cardiac systole lasts approximately 0.3 seconds to complete. However, during exercise, when the heart rate is increased the time period of <u>diastole</u> , especially, is reduced.
Our health is crucial when it comes to the environment. The environment can affect our health through physical, internal, and chemical factors. For example, if the environment is extremely polluted, us humans would get sick easily and there would be many birth defects.
Eat nutritious meals, I hope this helped.
