Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term for the sequence of events that occur during one heartbeat is called the cardiac cycle. This includes both the systole (contraction phase) and diastole (relaxation phase) of the heart.

Option A (Stroke volume) refers to the amount of blood pumped out of the heart with each beat.
Option B (Cardiac output) is the amount of blood pumped out of the heart in one minute, calculated by multiplying the stroke volume by heart rate.
Option D (Systole) is one phase of the cardiac cycle, specifically the contraction phase.
