What normal range does stroke volume fall into?
A30 to 40 mL
B50 to 60 mL
C120 to 130 mL
D70 to 80 mL
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. 70 to 80 mL
1. Both ventricles pump the same quantity of blood per beat, the stroke volume.
2. Stroke volume normally falls in the range of 70 to 80 mL.
3. The 50 to 60 mL figure is what remains behind as end systolic volume.
