The cardiac output (CO) is given by \(CO = SV \times HR\), where stroke volume \(SV\) is the volume of blood pumped per beat and heart rate \(HR\) is beats per minute. Arterial oxygen content is \(0.20\ \text{ml\,O}_{2}\) per ml blood and venous content is \(0.15\ \text{ml\,O}_{2}\) per ml blood. (a) With a resting \(SV = 70\ \text{ml}\) and \(HR = 70\ \text{bpm}\), calculate the resting oxygen delivery (in ml O\(_2\) min\(^{-1}\)). (b) During moderate exercise, \(HR\) rises by 20 % and \(SV\) by 10 %. By what percentage does oxygen delivery increase?

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. Oxygen delivery increases by about 32 %.
B. Oxygen delivery increases by about 25 %.
C. Oxygen delivery increases by about 15 %.
D. Oxygen delivery increases by about 40 %.
Correct Answer
A
