Vedclass · Answer

(B) Cardiac output is the volume of blood pumped by each ventricle per minute.It is calculated by the formula: $	ext{Cardiac output} = 	ext{Stroke volume} 	imes 	ext{Heart rate}$.In a healthy individual,the stroke volume is approximately $70 \; mL$ per beat and the average heart rate is $72$ beats per minute.Therefore,$	ext{Cardiac output} = 70 \; mL/	ext{beat} 	imes 72 \; 	ext{beats/minute} = 5040 \; mL/	ext{minute}$,which is approximately $5 \; L/	ext{minute}$.
