Answer
(a) The phase is Ventricular Systole and Atrial Diastole.
(b) Ventricular muscles are contracting during this phase because the valves between the two ventricles and pulmonary artery and aorta are open while the atrio-ventricular valves are closed.
(c) The parts numbered 1 to 6 are:
- 1 → Pulmonary Artery
- 2 → Aorta
- 3 → Pulmonary Vein
- 4 → Left Atrium
- 5 → Bicuspid Valve
- 6 → Right Ventricle
(d) Types of blood flowing through parts '1' and '2' are mentioned below:
- Part 1 (Pulmonary artery) → Deoxygenated blood
- Part 2 (Aorta) → Oxygenated blood
(e) Two valves — Bicuspid and Tricuspid valves are closed in this phase.
