The answer is False: Arterial blood supply to heart muscle is continuous whether the heart is in systole or diastole.

Explanation:

  • During systole (when the heart muscle contracts), the coronary arteries are compressed, which reduces blood flow to the heart muscle.
  • During diastole (when the heart muscle relaxes), the coronary arteries are not compressed, allowing for increased blood flow to the heart muscle.
  • Therefore, the arterial blood supply to the heart muscle is not continuous and varies between systole and diastole.
