During which phase of the cardiac cycle does the heart muscle relax and fill with blood?

Ventricular relaxation

Atrial contraction

Systole

Diastole (correct)

What is the relationship between blood pressure (BP), cardiac output (CO), and peripheral resistance (PR)?

BP is directly proportional to CO and inversely proportional to PR (correct)

BP is inversely proportional to CO and PR

BP is inversely proportional to CO but directly proportional to PR

BP is directly proportional to CO but not affected by PR
