Stephen Hales Influence On Trifles
The scientist, who has contributed to biology that has made an impact on my life, is Stephen Hales. Whether or not you have the prognosis, his discovery provided a way for individual to live a healthier life.
Not only did Stephen Hales pioneer the study of plant physiology, then he contributed to the first major account of blood pressure, and the invention of a machine for ventilating buildings. To formulate the results vital for his implications, he carefully measured the blood pressure of three horses which produced the first recorded estimates of blood pressure, as stated in the biography. In addition to, studying the pulse rates from various animals and measured the heart capacity to pump blood through the pulmonary veins, thus experimenting
on animal reflexes and analyzing the effects of heat, cold and differing drugs on the blood vessels. However, this lead to the discovery that plant’s transpiration of leaves draws the sap toward them at the same rate that the roots push sap upward ( Hales, n.d. ).
One might wonder how Hale’s discovery correlates to my life, from the newly diagnosis of hypertension (high blood pressure). Without the dedication and experimentation of Hale analyzing the blood circulation, pulse rates and measuring the volume of the heart when pumping blood through the veins, my doctor could not specify systemically the accurate procedure of measuring my heart and pulse rate and blood pressure. Therefore, allowing the doctors to prescribe the appropriate medicine for the results. Early detection of hypertension decreases the risk of horrendous health problems and provides knowledge of treatments (Eisenberg, 2012), such as, exercising, consuming healthy foods and frequently monitor blood pressure.
