Vedclass · Answer

(C) Cardiac output is defined as the volume of blood pumped out by each ventricle per minute.In a healthy individual, the stroke volume is approximately $70 \ mL$ and the average heart rate is $72$ beats per minute.Therefore, Cardiac Output = Stroke Volume $	imes$ Heart Rate.Cardiac Output = $70 \ mL 	imes 72 \ 	ext{beats/min} = 5040 \ mL \approx 5 \ 	ext{liters/min}$.Thus, it refers to the volume of blood pumped by the left ventricle per minute.
