How much blood is pumped in 1 stroke volume?

Stroke volume refers to the amount of blood that is pumped out of the heart per heartbeat or contraction. The normal stroke volume for a healthy adult at rest is approximately 70 milliliters (mL).

This value can vary based on factors such as an individual's size, fitness level, age, and physiological demands.

For a better representation of how much blood is pumped in one stroke volume, here are some examples:
