Solved by a verified expert:I am trying to answer the following: “Assume that for one beat the stroke volume of the left ventricle is greater than that of the right ventricle. Explain why in a normal heart this would be corrected on the next beat”. I am unsure of my theory : the right ventricle would with the next contraction predetermine the amount of blood that will be moved through the subsequent stages in the cardiovascular circulation. If for example the volume was 10 ml of blood that were expelled by the right ventricle into the pulmonary circulation, in return only 10 ml of blood would get pushed forward from the pulmonary circulation into the left atrium, as well as from the left atrium into the left ventricle. And no less than 10 ml would arrive in the left ventricle since we are discussing a healthy heart and no blood volume would be lost on the way…
