Final answer:
The human heart pumps approximately 70 mL of blood with each contraction, which is not listed in the options provided; the listed values are too high.
Step-by-step explanation:
The human heart is a vital organ responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. With each contraction, each of the major pumping chambers of the heart ejects approximately 70 mL of blood. Thus, the correct answer to the amount of blood pumped by the human heart with each contraction is none of the options provided (a) 4500 mL, (b) 3000 mL, or (c) 4000 mL, but rather approximately 70 mL. This amount of blood pump can be multiplied by the number of heartbeats per minute to calculate the cardiac output, which is typically around 5.25 liters per minute for a resting adult.
