Section 2 The pumping function of the heart ; Cardiac cycle （心动周期） The cardiac events that occur from the beginning of one heartbeat to the beginning of the next are called cardiac cycle. Each cycle is initiated by spontaneous generation of an action potential in the sinus node. The conduction delay in the A-V node (1/10sec) allows the atria to contract ahead of the ventricles, thereby pumping blood into the ventricles before the strong ventricular contraction begins. Thus, the atria act as primer pumps (初级泵） for the ventricles.;; The characteristics of a cardiac cycle Diastole is
