A)45 mL
B)85 mL
C)165 mL
D)500 mL
E)5000 mL

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stroke volume (SV) is calculated by subtracting the end-systolic volume (ESV) from the end-diastolic volume (EDV). Therefore, in this case, SV = EDV - ESV = 125 mL - 40 mL = 85 mL. Thus, the best answer choice is B).
