    Analysis of Orthostatic Vital Signs The purpose of this assignment was to measure‚ document and analyse six recordings of orthostatic blood pressure‚ orthostatic pulse and respiratory rate on my lab partner. Orthostatic Hypotension is a condition when there is a drop in systolic pressure of more than 20 mm Hg‚ or orthostatic pulse increases of 20 bpm or more which occurs due to a quick change to a standing position (Jarvis‚ pp. 163). Six recordings were taken over a certain period of time to better

    Blood pressure is the measure of the pressure against the walls of the arteries. There are two forces that form blood pressure. One of the forces is created when the heart pumps blood into the arteries through the circulatory system. The other force is due to the arteries as they resist the flow of blood. Blood pressure is always stated in two numbers‚ systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. The higher number is systolic pressure which represents the pressure while heart contracts to pump the blood

    this report you will learn of how my group and I performed our lab on blood pressure and what the results mean. We found the blood pressure before and after sixty seconds of jogging in place to see the effects. We found that after the physical activity the subject’s blood pressure was higher. From this we take away that physical activity does have a significant effect on the heart and blood pressure. Background: Blood pressure is the measured force applied to the artery walls as the heart pumps

    to measure arterial blood pressure. Questions: 1. My blood pressure for this lab was 123/78. These numbers are normal‚ compared to the normal rating of 120/80. My pulse pressure was 45 (SP – DP). My mean arterial pressure was 93 (DP + 1/3 (SP – DP). 2. Mean arterial blood pressure is determined by cardiac output and total vascular resistance. The mathematical equation for mean arterial blood pressure is equal to cardiac output x total vascular resistance. The amount of blood pumped out of the heart

    The body attempts to maintain homeostasis of a resting blood pressure through negative feedback. When an individual is at rest‚ this results in a decreased demand on their bodies respiratory and cardiovascular system (Martini‚ Ober‚ & Nath‚ 2015). Therefore‚ the individual’s blood pressure is maintained by central regulation. Central regulation consists of the cardiovascular system‚ assistance with the neural and endocrine system via the release of hormone regulators. This form of regulation incorporates
