Both ventricles pump the same volume, but the left must generate greater:
APosition
BPotential
CPressure
DPorosity
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Pressure
1. Volume pumped per beat matches on both sides.
2. The systemic circuit offers far more resistance.
3. So the left ventricle generates greater pressure.
