A-level Biology Cardiac Cycle Pressure Change Worksheet

Ensure your students understand how to interpret cardiac cycle pressure change graphs with this worksheet.

Includes differentiated versions (one worksheet with blank boxes to explain the opening & closing of valves on the cardiac pressure graph & one gap-fill worksheet to help less confident students).

Tests knowledge of

• why the atrioventricular and semilunar valves open and close during the cardiac cycle.
• how to calculate heart rate using a pressure change graph.
• the cardiac output equation.
• differences in pressure between atria & ventricles.
