The duration of **one complete cardiac cycle** is about **0.8 seconds** in a healthy adult. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

The AV node slows down the electrical signal from the SA node before sending it to the ventricles, allowing the atria to contract first.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 15: Body Fluids and Circulation Circulatory System - Comparative and Evolutionary Aspects
The SA node, also called the pacemaker of the heart, initiates the heartbeat by generating electrical impulses.

The cardiac cycle consists of systole (contraction) and diastole (relaxation) of the heart chambers.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 15: Body Fluids and Circulation Human Heart - Structure and Cardiac Cycle
Diastole is the relaxation phase of the heart, allowing blood to fill the chambers.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 15: Body Fluids and Circulation Human Heart - Structure and Cardiac Cycle
Systole refers to the contraction phase of the heart, during which blood is pumped out.
