Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following would not increase stroke volume?
A
Increase in ventricular stretch while filling with blood
B
Increase in ventricular contractility
C
Increased afterload
D
Increased venous return
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is (c) Increased end-systolic volume will not increase stroke volume. This describes the amount of blood in the ventricles after a contraction, and a lower value would be indicative of a higher stroke volume.

Detailed explanation-2: -(b) The parasympathetic system regulates the activities like digestion and arousal while the body is at rest. It does not influence the heart rate or cardiac output.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following increases stroke volume? Exercise increases venous return, which would in turn increase the amount of blood in the presystolic ventricle (preload).
