Answer 1

Amount of blood pumped by the heart, during each heart beat is called Stroke volume.

Explanation:

The blood pumped out of the left and right ventricles of the heart during each systolic contraction is 70 millilitres (mL). The volume of blood pumped by the heart per unit time is known as cardiac output. That works out to 70ml x 72(HR) = 5040 ml/min.
