Which of the following statements correctly describes cardiac output?
a. It is the combination of stroke volume and heart rate.
b. It is the amount of blood pumped in each heartbeat.
c. Increased cardiac output can lead to shock.
d. Reduced stroke volume always means reduced cardiac output.
Question 2
In shock, the body's reactions to a decreased amount of oxygen reaching the cells include:
a. the release of epinephrine, increased stroke volume, and slowed respiratory rate.
b. increased stroke volume, increased heart rate, and increased peripheral resistance.
c. slowed respiratory rate, shunting of blood from the skin, and decreased pulse rate.
d. increased stroke volume, decreased pulse rate, and shunting of blood from the skin.

Inferring Productivity from Data on Output and Factor Accumulation
Factors that Increase Cardiac Output
Intraaortic balloon pump. The balloon deflates during systole, so cardiac output is unimpeded.
The surface temperature of the star is 6000 K. At what wavelength is its light output a maximum
