Answer the following questions true (T) or false (F)

1. There are two phases of the cardiac cycle in which all four heart valves are open: the isovolumetric contraction phase and the isovolumetric relaxation phase. 2. Pressure in the aorta is greater than pressure in the pulmonary trunk; therefore, the left ventricle has to generate a greater pressure than the right ventricle in order to eject blood from the heart. 3. Stroke volume (SV) can be calculated by subtracting the end-diastolic volume (EDV) from the end-systolic volume (ESV).
