30* 0.15. Think about it, there is x flow with an oxygen concentration of y--so to find out the delivery you just multiply them together.

yotsubato One of those questions too simple to believe its actually the right answer +9

Fick principle: CO= Rate of O2 consumption/arterivenous O2 concentration

CO means cardiac output or Flow of blood

charcot_bouchard This wasnt Fick +1

has nothing to do with fick. Also i wasted like 2 mins thinking about fick before i realised this was middle school mathematics.

all those non maths guys here, dont skip these questions, try to arrange the units, here you´d easily find out that you just have to multiply! Give it a try :-)

charcot_bouchard This was like Filtered Load ques of Renal. Where u multiply icoming fluid (GFR) with the desired substances conc (Px) so FIltered load of A is GFR x Pa Same here. Myocardial O2 supply is Blood flow x Conc of O2 in that blood flow +
