Correct answer: C. Volume of the circulation per minute
- A. Pulse Pressure
- B. Peripheral vascular resistance
- C. Volume of the circulation per minute
- D. Total Capacity
Explanation
Systemic and pulmonary circuits are arranged in series, so the same volume of blood passes through each circuit per minute. Their pressures, resistances, and capacities are not equal.
