C
100
D
150
High-Yield Explanation
Basal O2 consumption by the myocardium is about 2 mL/100 g/min. O2 consumption by the beating hea is about 9 mL/100 g/min at rest. O2 consumption by the hea is determined primarily by the intramyocardial tension, the contractile state of the myocardium, and the hea rate. Ref: Barrett K.E., Barman S.M., Boitano S., Brooks H.L. (2012). Chapter 30. The Hea as a Pump. In K.E. Barrett, S.M. Barman, S. Boitano, H.L. Brooks (Eds), Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology, 24e.
