Compare the volume of blood each circuit receives from contraction of the ventricles.
A)The pulmonary circuit receives half as much blood as the systemic circuit.
B)The systemic circuit receives twice as much blood as the pulmonary circuit.
C)Both circuits receive the same volume of blood.
D)The systemic circuit receives three times as much blood as the pulmonary circuit.
E)The systemic circuit receives four times as much blood as the pulmonary circuit.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both circuits receive the same volume of blood because the output of the right ventricle (pulmonary circuit) and the left ventricle (systemic circuit) must be equal to maintain a balanced circulation.
