36
Q

_____ is determined primarily by EDV

A

preload

37
Q

as the muscle stretches, the stretching induces length-dependent activation of the contractile apparatus leading to greater strength of contraction. in other words, ______ is the stretched state of the ventricle before it contracts; the greater the stretch, the greater the ______….so when it contracts it will contract with greater force
