Practice question

The correct answer is B: Atrial pressure > ventricular pressure. In Cardiac Cycle and Regulation, this idea is central because it matches how the body actually works in everyday teaching examples. Put simply, cause and effect line up with Atrial pressure > ventricular pressure — that is the mechanism or reason the stem is pointing to. That is why Atrial pressure > ventricular pressure is the option that holds up when you check it against basic physiology. When you revise, say the answer out loud with one short reason attached; that sticks better than rote lists. Remember that physiology questions reward precise language: name the process, the location, and the outcome, then match that to the option text.
