What happens in the heart during Systole?

In: Blood Pressure [Edit categories]

Answer:

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.
