-when the aortic valve closes
A)aortic pressure ventricular pressure atrial pressure
B)ventricular pressure aortic pressure atrial pressure
C)aortic pressure atrial pressure ventricular pressure
D)ventricular pressure atrial pressure aortic pressure
E)atrial pressure ventricular pressure aortic pressure

Question

Using the following answer code, indicate which pressure relationship exists during the time in question.
-when the aortic valve closes
A)aortic pressure > ventricular pressure > atrial pressure
B)ventricular pressure > aortic pressure > atrial pressure
C)aortic pressure > atrial pressure > ventricular pressure
D)ventricular pressure > atrial pressure > aortic pressure
E)atrial pressure > ventricular pressure > aortic pressure

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the aortic valve closes, the ventricular pressure falls below the aortic pressure, but it is still higher than the atrial pressure, resulting in the relationship: aortic pressure > ventricular pressure > atrial pressure.
