c) 60-130 mL

d) 2-8 mm Hg

e) 20-120 dynes $\times$ sec $\times$ cm^-5

f) 9-18 mm Hg

g) 30-65 mL/beat/m²

h) 80 mm Hg

i) 2.5-4.2 L/min/m²

j) 4-12 mm Hg

k) 40-60 g m/m²

l) 7-12 g m/m²

Introduction:

Vascular resistance is the resistance required to push the blood through the circulatory system and creates proper blood flow. The blood ejected by the left ventricle through aortic valve against high pressure is known as systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and the blood ejected by the right ventricle is known as pulmonary vascular resistance.
