Q
Cardiac Output (CO)
equation
A
CO = stroke volume x heart rate
2
Q
cardiac output
definition
A
the amount of blood pumped out of the left ventricle in 1 minute
3
Q
Stroke volume
definition
A
the change in left ventricle volume before and after contraction of the heart (amount of blood pumped out in a single heartbeat)
4
Q
stroke volume
equation
A
EDV = end diastolic volume
ESV = end systolic volume
5
Q
systole
A
ventricular contraction/ejection
heart muscles contract
6
Q

A
ventricular filling
heart muscles are relaxed
