Questions and Answers

Which phase of the cardiac cycle is characterized by the heart being contracted and blood being pumped out of the ventricles?

  • End-systolic volume (ESV)
  • Diastole
  • End-diastolic volume (EDV)
  • Systole (correct)

What is the equation for stroke volume (SV)?

  • SV = EDV / ESV
  • SV = ESV - EDV
  • SV = EDV + ESV
  • SV = EDV - ESV (correct)

What is the average stroke volume per beat?

  • 70 mL (correct)
  • 20 mL
  • 110 mL
  • 90 mL
