Experiment Results
Predict Question:
Predict Question: If the pump rate is analogous to the heart rate, what do you think will happen to the rate when you increase the stroke volume?
Your answer : a. The pump rate will decrease to maintain cardiac output.
Stop & Think Questions:
Why did changing the ending pump volume (ESV) automatically change the stroke volume?
You correctly answered: d. The heart intrinsically alters stroke volume to accommodate changes in preload.
The flow has stayed constant with each trial because
You correctly answered: a. cardiac output is equivalent to blood flow.
How does the heart provide for an increase in stroke volume?
You correctly answered: b. by increasing contractility
