Question
Chapter 53, Problem 6TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The volume of blood pumped by the heart in each beat is called stroke volume. Additionally, the volume of blood pumped by the heart per unit time is referred to as cardiac output.

In the measurement of cardiac function; all of the following are true except
A. Cardiac output is a measure of the amount of blood pumped by each ventricle in 1 minute
B. The heart rate is the number of contractions of the ventricles each minute.
C. The stroke volume is the amount of blood ejected from each ventricle with each contraction
D. The cardiac output will exceed 5 liters with an increase in HR in all cases

- All of the following are correct about the isovolumetric contraction, except ____________. A. This phase of the cardiac cycle begins with the appearance of the QRS complex of the ECG, which represents atrial repolarization and ventricular depolarization B. It represents the time period between the closure of the AV valves and the opening of the aortic and pulmonic valves, ventricular pressure rises rapidly without a change in ventricular volume C. The rate of pressure increase in the ventricles is determined by the rate of contraction of the muscle fibers, which is determine by mechanisms governing excitation-contraction coupling D. Ventricular chamber geometry changes considerably as the heart becomes more spheroid in shape; circumference increases and atrial base-to-apex length increasesarrow_forward18.During exercise, all of the following occur EXCEPT A. increased stroke volume.
