Relaxation The volume of blood in the ventricles at the end of ventricular filling is called end diastolic volume The most important variable that determines resistance to blood flow is the diameter of the vessel Skeletal muscles receive approximately ________% of the total cardia output under resting conditions, but they can receive as much as _____% of the cardia output during heavy endurance exercise 15; 80 The ratio of formed elements in the blood (red cells, white cells, platelets) to the total blood volume is Hematocrit [Show More]
