For mammals, resting heart rate scales as mass to the -1/4th power; that is, R is proportional to m^-1/4. The heart rate of a 5000 kg elephant is 30 bpm (beats per minute). What do you predict for the heart rate of a 5.0 kg monkey?
A person has a resting blood flow of 6.5 L min-1. The volume of the left ventricle is 152 mL and the ejection rate is 64 %. Calculate the heart rate required. Give your answer in beats per min (BPM), rounded to zero decimal places
The human circulation system has approximately 1 × 109 capillary vessels. Each vessel has a diameter of about 8 μm
a. Assuming the cardiac output is 5 L/min, determine the average speed, in centimeters per second, of blood flow through each capillary vessel.
