Q. The volume of blood each ventricle pumps out during a cardiac cycle is about

A) 70 mL
B) 5000 mL
C) 7 L
D) 1200 mL
Explanation

Cardiac cycle is the cyclic events occur in single heart beat. It involves repeated countraction (when blood is ejected from heart called systole) and relaxation (when the chambers of the heart are filled with blood called diastole) of the muscle fibre of heart. During a cardiac cycle, each ventricle pumps out approximately 70 mL of blood which is called stroke volume.
