Pulse and Blood Pressure Lab (after lesson) Objectives: 1. To allow students to formulate and test hypotheses. 2. To allow students to practice taking pulse and blood pressure. Teacher notes: 1. Briefly review of how to take a pulse and a blood pressure (if necessary) 2. Instruct students to pair off 3. Students will fill out the lab worksheet which will help guide them in the lab. Answers to the questions: Using what you know about pulse and blood pressure‚ form a hypothesis about what

the amount of pressure‚ intensity and type of exercise. When performing a cardiovascular exercise‚ the blood becomes directed to the muscles that are physically conducting the exercise. As well as when the blood volume and flow return to the heart‚ it increases which makes the left ventricle expand and adapt to a different situation. Due to this‚ the heart can register a higher level of blood and eject it at a faster rate to all living cells and membranes. This increases the heart rate because the

Do observations of vital signs really indicate how sick a child is? - Would this be an effective triage tool? Introduction This assignment will look at papers that are relevant to the research question posed; it will consider their validity‚ scope of relevance and whether further research may be needed either to answer the question or to clarify aspects of research already completed. Traditionally emphasis is placed on vital sign recording to indicate the severity of an illness‚ and with the

The effects of environmental temperature on respiration rates of mice were observed in this experiment. I hypothesized that when environmental temperature decreased‚ the respiration rate of mice would increase. I predicted that if environmental temperature decreased‚ the respiration rate of mice would increase. The respiration rate of the endotherm was measured using the Qubit/Vernier system and the S152 CO2 gas sensor‚ a device that measured the CO2 concentration in the air. The independent variable

“How Vital Signs are Important to our Health” Vital signs are measurements of the body’s most basic functions. They are very useful in detecting and monitoring medical problems. There are five main types of vital signs which are temperature‚ pulse‚ respiration‚ blood pressure‚ and pain. They can be measured in a medical setting‚ at home‚ at the site of a medical emergency‚ or elsewhere. The normal body temperature of a person should range from 97.8 to 99 degrees F. A person’s body temperature can

THE EFFECTS OF COLD ON BLOOD PRESSURE AND PULSE Abstract The ability known as thermoregulation is a feature of an organism that help to keep the body temperature within certain thresholds‚ thus independently from external conditions. A dynamic state of thermal balance of human body between its internal environment and the territory is a model example of precise control of organism heat. In the case where such stability would be disturbed the immediate response would appear as well. In accordance

The goal of this experiment was to explore how temperature would influence the rate of cellular respiration of beans. It was hypothesized that as the temperature of the beans increased‚ the rate of cellular respiration would increase as well. In this experiment‚ the independent variable was the temperature‚ which gradually increased as time went by‚ and the dependent variable was the rate of cellular respiration‚ which was shown by the change in the amount of CO2 and O2 in the container. During the
