Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Rapid ventricular filling occurs when the atrioventricular valves open and lasts for approximately one third of the diastole. Two thirds of diastole consists of reduced filling, or diastasis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The systolic pressure of the right ventricle is 25 mm Hg. This pressure is higher than the pressure in the pulmonary artery (15 mm Hg).
