Final answer:
Yes, the left and right ventricles have the same cardiac output despite structural differences. The false statement about the cardiac system is that blood travels through the bicuspid valve to the left atrium; it actually enters the left ventricle. The right atrium is the initial receiver of blood from the systemic circuit.
Step-by-step explanation:
Do both the left and right ventricles have the same cardiac output? The answer is A) Yes. Although the left ventricle has thicker walls and generates more pressure to pump blood through the longer systemic circuit, and the right ventricle pumps blood through the shorter pulmonary circuit with less resistance, both ventricles pump the same amount of blood per contraction.
The statement about the cardiac system that is false is b. Blood travels through the bicuspid valve to the left atrium. The correct statement should indicate that blood travels through the bicuspid valve, also known as the mitral valve, into the left ventricle, not the left atrium.
The chamber that initially receives blood from the systemic circuit is c. right atrium.
