Which equation represents the relationship between mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac output, and total peripheral resistance?
Which equation represents the relationship between mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac output, and total peripheral resistance?
- MAP = cardiac output / total peripheral resistance
- MAP = cardiac output - total peripheral resistance
- MAP = cardiac output + total peripheral resistance
- MAP = cardiac output × total peripheral resistance (correct)
What is the formula to calculate cardiac output?
What is the formula to calculate cardiac output?
- Cardiac output = heart rate / stroke volume
- Cardiac output = heart rate - stroke volume
- Cardiac output = heart rate × stroke volume (correct)
- Cardiac output = heart rate + stroke volume
Which of the following statements accurately describes stroke volume (SV)?
Which of the following statements accurately describes stroke volume (SV)?
- It is the volume of blood pumped out of each ventricle per heartbeat. (correct)
- It is the volume of blood found in each atrium at the end of diastole.
- It is the volume of blood left in each ventricle at the end of systole.
- It is the volume of blood that fills the atria during relaxation.
