How much blood passes from the left ventricle into the aorta during diastole?   A none; during diastole the aortic semilunar valve is closed   B none; it is blood from the right ventricle and not the left ventricle that goes into the aorta   C the same amount as the left ventricle ejects into the aorta during systole   D more than the left ventricle ejects into the aorta during systole because diastole lasts longer

Expert Solution
Step 1 Introduction on Diastolic and systolic phase:

Each cardiac cycle has a diastolic phase where the heart chamber is in a state of relaxation and fills with blood that receives from the veins and a systolic phase where the heart chambers are contracting and pumps the blood towards the periphery via the arteries. Both the atria and the ventricles undergo alternating states of systole and diastole. In other words, when the atria are in diastole, the ventricles are in systole and vice versa.
