Describe what happens to blood flow during elastic rebound.
A)Elastic rebound pushes blood from the cardiac veins into the right atrium.
B)Elastic rebound is what pushes blood through the coronary arteries when the heart is contracting.
C)Elastic rebound is when blood in the aorta is driven forward into the systemic circuit,some is forced back toward the left ventricle and into the coronary arteries.
D)Elastic rebound is the contraction of the ventricles forcing blood into the outflow vessels.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elastic rebound is the recoil of the elastic walls of the aorta and major arteries after they were stretched by the force of blood ejected from the left ventricle during systole. This recoil pushes the blood forward into the systemic circulation while also pushing some blood back toward the left ventricle and into the coronary arteries, allowing for continuous blood flow to the heart muscle.
