Blood Flow Contracted Ventricles: During ventricular systole, the ventricles contract, pushing blood into the pulmonary artery from the right ventricle and the aorta from the left ventricle.
Blood Flow Relaxed Ventricles: When the ventricles relax during diastole, blood flows passively from the atria into the ventricles through the open AV valves, preparing the heart for the next contraction.
