To determine the percentage of blood flow to the brain per minute, we need to know the total cardiac output and the percentage of that output that goes to the brain.
The cardiac output is the amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute. In a healthy adult at rest, the cardiac output is typically around 5 liters per minute.
Now, let's find the percentage of blood flow to the brain. The brain receives about 15-20% of the cardiac output. Therefore, the answer is not included in the options you provided.
To be precise, the brain receives approximately 15-20% of the total cardiac output, which accounts for approximately 750-1000 milliliters of blood flowing to the brain per minute.
So, the answer to your question is not one of the provided options.
