Cardio Pulmonary Practical The main aim of the practical was to assess‚ what affects did light exercise have on the systolic and diastolic blood pressure‚ heart and respiration rate‚ tidal volume‚ minute volume and percentage of gas. The readings were taken before exercise‚ during exercise and after exercise. Blood pressure is defined as the amount of pressure exerted on the vessels walls‚ during blood flow. Blood pressure can be measured using a sphygmomanometer. The upper value indicates the

The Cardiovascular System The heart is one the primary organs in our body. The cardiovascular (CV) system is made up of the heart‚ the blood and the vessels through which blood travels. The CV system works in sequence with the respiratory system to maintain homeostasis. The heart acts as a pump which move the blood through the blood vessels to the tissues and organs of the body. This allows the CV system to help maintain homeostasis by enabling it to carry out its four major functions

metabolism the first thing you might think of is the number of calories your cells burn each day. Metabolism is actually the sum of all chemical reactions that take place in the body. Metabolic reactions that produce energy are dependent on the cardiovascular system‚ which send oxygen to all the cells in your body. Although metabolism is not primarily made of reactions that burn nutrients like carbohydrates‚ fats and protein‚ these are perhaps the most widely known of the metabolic reactions. (CITE)

1. Why do we need a cardiovascular system? Because we need to get oxygen through our system. 2. Make sure you know which circuits the left and right heart pump into (pulmonary or systemic). Also know the status of blood (fully oxygenated or not) at -the aorta: Left‚systematic‚ and fully oxygenated. -a pulmonary vein: Left side‚ pulmonary‚ and fully oxygenated. Goes from the right side of the body(heart) into the (left) pulmonary veins then goes to the left atrium then to the left ventricle then

Cardiovascular Dynamics Vessel Resistance Key Terms: 1. Blood flow- the amount of blood moving through a body area or the entire cardiovascular system in a given amount of time. 2. Pheriphial resistance- the opposition to blood flow resulting from the friction developed as blood streams through blood vessels. 3. Viscosity- A measure of the “thickness” of the blood and is caused by the presence of proteins and formed elements in the plasma 4. Systole 5. Diastole 6. End diastolic volume

Performing cardiovascular and respiratory assessments is important in patients of all ages. Respiratory assessments determine the sufficiency of the oxygen in the body. This type of assessment can determine of there is enough oxygen in the body and if it is traveling adequately to maintain the health of the patient. Cardiovascular assessments are important for comparable reasons. They ensure that the heart is performing sufficiently enough to properly deliver blood throughout the body. There are

The assessment method used in this case is the Airway‚ Breathing‚ Circulation‚ Disability‚ Exposure (ABCDE) approach. Thim et al (2012) suggests that the aims of this approach are to provide the patient

Introduction: The cardiovascular system has multiple components that work to ensure an enough oxygen is supplied to the muscles‚ both at rest and during exercise. The objective of this laboratory session was to measure‚ and compare how the cardiovascular system responds to dynamic and isometric exercise. The research question for this lab was “What is the effect of different exercise modalities on the cardiovascular system?”. In response to this research question‚ the following hypothesis was formed
