Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Stroke volume is affected chiefly by intrinsic control of three factors: (1) preload, (2) afterload, and (3) contractility.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A normal resting cardiac output of approximately 5 L/min can be calculated by substituting a normal heart rate (70 contractions/min) and stroke volume (75 ml, or 0.075 L, per contraction).
Cardiac output = 70 beats/min  0.075 L/beat = 5.25 L/min.
