  1. Question 1
    1 / 1 pts
    Which of the following is the definition of cardiac output?



    the amount of blood pumped by the heart minute by one ventricle
    yes! this is cardiac output!

    the amount of blood that is in the ventricles before the heart contracts
    the volume of blood pumped out of the left ventricle of the heart during each systolic cardiac contraction
    the volume of blood in one ventricle at the end of the systolic ejection phase immediately before diastole

  2. Cardiac output is measured in volume per unit as either mL/min or L/min.



    Two big factors (A and B) determine the output. If you want to calculate cardiac output, you would use the formula:

    Cardiac output = A x B

    Which of these would represent A and B? (you should select the two correct factors). Once you figure out the right equation, don't forget to write it down in your notes!

    Stroke Volume (SV)
    Yes! SV is in mL/min

    weight of the heart
    Ca2+ influx
    Heart rate (HR)
    Yes! Heart rate is in beats/min

    height of the person
