Question
Chapter 15, Problem 34RQ
a.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The resting pulse of an individual to believe that circulation of blood occurs in the closed loop.
Introduction: The wall of the blood vessels experience pressure by the flowing blood. This particular pressure is referred to as blood pressure.
b.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The time required by the heart of an individual to pump its weight in the blood by assuming that heart pumps 70 ml per beat at rest.
Introduction: When blood is pumped by the heart into the aorta, the arterial walls results in wave-like formation. It occurs due to the beating of the heart in the rhythm with the relaxation and contraction of ventricles.
