    How many double circulations are normally completed by the human heart, in one minute?

    A)  eight          

    B)  sixteen

    C)  seventy two    

    D)  thirty six

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    As the ventricle is completely divided in birds, mammals and some reptiles (Crocodiles alligator) the left and right pans of the heart function as air tight conduits for pure and impure blood. The right part receives impure blood from whole body and sends it to the lungs for oxygenation. The left part receives purified blood from the lungs and supplies it to the whole body Thus the right and left parts of the heart respectively serve as completely separated pulmonary and systamic hearts. This is known as double heart circuit. In man the rate of heart beat (double circulation) is about 75 times per minute
