Question

Each heart beat generates how many pulse in the arteries

• A. Two
• B. Three
• C. One
• D. Five

Answer 1

The correct option is C One

This sequential event in the heart which is cyclically repeated is called the cardiac cycle. Each cardiac cycle consists of systole and diastole of both the atria and ventricles. Each cardiac cycle represents one heartbeat. The number of heart beats per minute in resting person is called as normal heart rate. The normal heart rate is about 72 beats per minute. The heart rate is same as pulse rate because the contractions of the heart cause an increase in blood pressure in arteries that leads to noticeable pulse. Hence each heartbeat generates one pulse in the arteries.

So, the correct answer is 'One'.
