Q. During ventricular systole

Body Fluids and Circulation

Solution:

Due to contraction of the ventricles (ventricular systole), the pressure inside the ventricles rises, that force open the semilunar valves of aorta and pulmonary artery so that the blood enters into these vessels. Oxygenated blood is pumped into the aorta from the left ventricle while deoxygenated blood is pumped into the pulmonary artery from the right ventricle.
