It is known as stroke volume.

Stroke volume (SV) is the volume of blood pumped by the right/left ventricle of the heart in one contraction.

The stroke volume is not all of the blood contained in the left ventricle. The heart does not pump all the blood out of the ventricle. Normally, only about two-thirds of the blood in the ventricle is put out with each beat. What blood is actually pumped from the left ventricle is the stroke volume and it, together with the heart rate, determines the cardiac output.

What's the average amount of blood that is pumped from the right ventricle during a normal pulmonary circulation for a typical adult-?

The average amount for the right ventricle is about the same as the left ventricle which is about 5000 ml or 5 liters.


What is the amount of blood ejected by the ventricle prior to the systole called?

Your answer is EDS - End Diastole Volume Keep in mind, there is a period of isovolumic contraction which is the first part of systole and during that phase no blood is actually ejected because the pressure in the ventricle hasn't exceeded the pressure in the aorta (I'm assuming we're talking about the left ventricle)


What's the average amount of blood that is pumped from the right ventricle during a normal pulmonary circulation for a typical adult?

The period during which a heart chamber is contracting is called?

Systole


The bicuspid valve is located between what two chambers of the heart?

The bicuspid valve, also known as the mitral valve, is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle of the heart. It ensures that blood flows in one direction from the left atrium into the left ventricle during each heartbeat.


A period of unresponsiveness during a normal heartbeat is called?

refractory period.


The relaxation phase of the heartbeat is called?

The relaxation phase of the heartbeat is called diastole. During diastole, the heart ventricles relax and fill with blood in preparation for the next contraction.


Where does the pulmonary valve lie between?

The right atrium and the left atrium. It actually lies between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery, where it prevents the backflow of blood from the artery back into the heart during diastole (the resting period of the heartbeat)

The volume of blood pumped during each cardiac cycle is called what?

The volume of blood pumped during each cardiac cycle is known as stroke volume. It represents the amount of blood ejected by the left ventricle in one contraction. It is an important factor in determining cardiac output.


What is the valve between the left ventricle and the aorta of the heart called?

Aortic insufficiency (AI), also known as aortic regurgitation (AR) is what is called when blood flows in the reverse direction during ventricular diastole, from the aorta into the left ventricle.
