<p>The normal cardiac cycle includes atrial contraction, ventricular contraction, and relaxation. The four factors affecting cardiac physiology are preload, afterload, cardiac output, and stroke volume.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Preload is the degree of stretch on the ventricular walls prior to contraction. It affects cardiac physiology by influencing the force of contraction and stroke volume.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Afterload is the resistance against which the heart must pump to eject blood from the ventricles. It impacts perfusion by affecting cardiac output and the amount of oxygen and glucose supplied to the tissues.</p> Signup and view all the answers
