Summary Introduction
To determine: The relative blood distribution after 10 beats between systemic and pulmonary circulation if the stroke volume of the left ventricle is 250 mL/beat and right ventricle is 251 mL/beat.
Introduction: Stroke volume (SV) defines the amount of blood pumped by one ventricle during contraction. SV is measured in milliliters per beat.

O b) Both ventricular volume and ventricular pressure increase
O c) Ventricular volume and ventricular pressure remain constant
O d) Ventricular volume remains constant but ventricular pressure decreases
