Question

Stroke volume is the amount of blood that leaves the left ventricle of the heart with each contraction. If a person has a stroke volume of 80 ml/beat, how many liters would that be?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The amount of blood that leaves the left ventricle of the heart with each contraction is called Stroke volume.

A person has a stroke volume of 80 ml/beat. It means that it is 80 milliliters per beat.

We need to find how many liters would that be.

We know that, 1 litre = 1000 milliliters

1 mL = 0.001 L

To convert 80 mL to litres, we can do it as follows :

80 mL = (80 × 0.001) LL

= 0.08 L

Hence, he stroke volume of a person is 0.08 L/beat.
