Blood volume in (a) liters = 0.0675 liters and (b) in cubic centimeters = 67.5 cm³
Additional information
Seven primary quantities have been identified following international guidelines, which include:
1. Length measured in meters (m)
2. Time measured in seconds (s)
3. Mass measured in kilograms (kg)
4. Temperature expressed in kelvin (K)
5. Light intensity measured in candela (cd)
6. Electric current quantified in amperes (A)
7. Amount of substance counted in moles (m)
The length serves to define the distance between two locations
The notation is generally represented as l for length
Volume represents a derived measurement based on the principal length
Volume can be stated in liters, milliliters, or cubic meters
Conversions include:
1 cc = 1 cm³
1 dm = 1 Liter
1 mL = 1 cm³
1 L = 1 dm³
In this case, 5 liters of blood flows through the heart in 1 minute
The heart completes 74 beats per minute
Thus, our equation is straightforward:
5 liters = 1 minute
74 beats = 1 minute
Consequently, during one heartbeat, the blood volume is:
= 5 liters / 74 beats
= 0.0675 liters
Upon conversion to cm³:
1 L = 1 dm³ = 10³ cm³
0.0675 liters = 0.0675.10³ cm³
= 67.5 cm³
