Question

Define end diastolic volume (EDV).

Answer 1

Explanation:

End diastolic volume (EDV)

It is the amount of the blood in the left or the right ventricle at the end load .

Or the amount of the blood present in the ventricles before systole .

The factors effecting end diastolic volume is

• Increasing venous compliance increases the capacitance of the veins decreases venous return and hence end-diastolic volume.

• Plasma volume
