Hypothesis: The more cigarettes villagers living within Philadelphia Trace smoke the higher the blood pressure of those villagers. Aim: To plan and Design an experiment to investigate whether or not the number of cigarettes a person smokes affects the person’s blood pressure. Materials/Apparatus: 20 villagers who smoke cigarettes‚ 8 villagers who do not smoke cigarettes‚ blood pressure monitors‚ cigarettes‚ pens‚ cards‚ papers and rulers. Variables: Manipulated-: • The number of

Journey of a Red Blood Cell The Circulatory System is the main transportation for the body‚ made up of blood vessels‚ the blood and the heart. The blood is comprised of the red blood cells‚ white blood cells (lymphocytes and phagocytes which make up part of the immune system‚ engulfing invading pathogens)‚ platelets which help the blood to clot preventing infection all transported around the vessels amongst the plasma. The blood plasma contains dissolved substances including carbon dioxide‚ urea

week on blood pressure compared with patients that do not exercise. Lewis defines hypertension as “continuous blood pressure greater than 140 over 90‚ hypertension that is not controlled.” “Hypertension or high blood pressure is an important medical and public health problem. There is a direct relationship between hypertension and cardiovascular disease‚ and a proportional increase in the risk of myocardial infarction‚ heart failure‚ stroke‚ and renal disease with higher blood pressure.” (Lewis

Orthostatic hypotension is when a person’s blood pressure decreases whenever they go from a lying position to sitting up or standing. This is due to blood leaving the core of the body (organs) and shunts to the peripheries due to vasodilation. This usually makes the patient feel dizzy or light-headed and can cause a patient to become unsteady and/or fall. If a patient has orthostatic hypotension‚ their pulse will increase 15-30 bpm or blood pressure will decrease by 20 mmHg systolic or 10 mmHg

2013 is high blood pressure. Hypertension (HTN) or high blood pressure‚ sometimes called arterial hypertension‚ is a chronic medical condition in which the pressure in the arteries is elevated. This requires the heart to work harder than normal to circulate blood through the blood vessels. Blood pressure is summarized by two measurements‚ systolic and diastolic‚ which depend on whether the heart muscle is contracting (systole) or relaxed between beats (diastole). Normal blood pressure at rest is within

Hypertension‚ also referred to as high blood pressure‚ is a condition in which the arteries have persistently elevated blood pressure. Every time the human heart beats‚ it pumps blood to the whole body through the arteries. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing up against the blood vessel walls. The higher the pressure the harder the heart has to pump. Hypertension can lead to damaged organs‚ as well as several illnesses‚ such as renal failure (kidney failure)‚ aneurysm‚ heart failure
