According to the Frank-Starling's law (and only this mechanism), the force of ventricular contraction is: a. directly proportional to the end diastolic volume (EDV) b. directly proportional to the afterload c. directly proportional to the end systolic volume (ESV) d. inversely proportional to the afterload
Adi S.
The strength of ventricular contraction varies directly with the end-diastolic volume. Select the correct word from the list to complete each sentence regarding the Frank-Starling law of the heart.

Exercise results in skeletal muscles compressing veins, which encourages blood to return to the heart. In this scenario, which of the following is correct? End diastolic volume (EDV) decreases. Cardiac output is decreased. Stroke volume decreases. Preload increases. Venous return decreases.
