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

This speech was a chance for me to share steps and experience on checking your blood pressure only takes 30 seconds. The steps were clearly stated‚ first choose the right equipment‚ second‚ stabled patient and third the right size blood pressure cuff. Blood pressure issues can strike at any age.

High Blood Pressure because I have it. This is a very personal research project for me. Approximately a decade ago‚ I was diagnosed with High Blood Pressure. What did that mean? I was put on a prescribed medication and it was said that it was controlled. No one gave me the opportunity to try to reduce it with diet and exercise. Maybe I needed to reduce stress. All these variables came to mind. According to AAP for Manual Therapists‚ Hypertension or High Blood Pressure is a stylistic pressure of

Exercise on Blood Pressure Katie Law-Balding June 28‚ 2010 Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to see what effect 30 seconds of physical activity would have on a subject’s blood pressure. In this case‚ physical activity is defined as stair running at a moderate pace for 30 seconds. Standing blood pressure was measured before and after physical activity for comparison purposes. Three trials were completed and initial blood pressure was 94/75 mmHg‚ 125/92 mmHg‚ and 106/92 mmHg. Blood pressure

Introduction: Heart rate and blood pressure are key factors in determining overall physical health. Together they establish how well the cardiovascular and circulatory systems are functioning‚ which is important in engaging in appropriate exercise safely. It is important to know and understand the resting vitals of an individual to establish a baseline of what is within normal ranges for that individual. We take resting vitals to ensure that physical activity does not cause any undue stress that

Hypertension is the medical term for high blood pressure. A normal blood pressure is 120/80. A blood pressure reading higher or equal to 140/90 is considered abnormally high. Elevated blood pressure means your heart is working harder than normal‚ putting both your heart and arteries under great strain. High blood pressure is serious business. On average‚ people with uncontrolled hypertension are:<br><li>Seven times more likely to have a stroke. <br><li>Six times more likely to develop congestive

The effect of different music styles on blood pressure Experiment by: Claire Mouser and Garrett Swearingen Written by: Claire Mouser Written: 3/13/14 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to inform teenagers about the effect different genres of music can have on your heart rate. The heart rates of teens are affected differently when they listen to rock versus classical music. The goal of this experiment was to find out whether teens heart rates would change while they listened

which blood vessel diameter can be modified? Detection of changes in blood pressure (leading to resultant changes in blood vessel diameter): Baroreceptors at the carotid sinus (the bifurcation of internal and external carotid arteries in the neck) and the aortic arch detect changes in blood pressure. These non-encapsulated nerve endings‚ located in the adventitial layer of arteries‚ are technically mechanoreceptors; they respond to arterial distension occurring due to a change in blood pressure
