What factors determine systemic oxygen delivery to the tissues?
What factors determine systemic oxygen delivery to the tissues?
- Strength of the heart's contraction and rate of contraction
- Heart rate and stroke volume
- Venous return and arterial oxygen content
- Perfusion and oxygen content of the blood (correct)
Which formula is used to determine cardiac output?
Which formula is used to determine cardiac output?
- $CO = HR - SV$
- $CO = HR \times SV$ (correct)
- $CO = HR + SV$
- $CO = \frac{HR}{SV}$
