Blood Pressure and Pulse Determination National University Bio 202 Human Anatomy & Physiology 2 Lab Report Activity 33A Dr. Alpa Gautam March 6‚ 2012 Abstract The purpose of the paper is to inform and conduct a laboratory report on human blood pressure and pulse determination. Systolic (contraction) and diastolic (relaxation) pressures refer to the ventricular contraction and relaxation. With knowing the two pressures‚ one can distinguish if he/she is at a normal

a crucial role in pumping blood‚ nutrients‚ and respiratory gases throughout the body. Blood pressure is the force that pushes blood against the blood vessel walls and delivers these essential elements to the body. The highest pressure is when the artery is maximally stretched and is recorded as the systolic pressure. The lowest pressure occurs when the artery recoils and is relaxed is known as the diastolic pressure. Mean arterial pressure is the average blood pressure and is an indicator on how

steps the measurements gotten should be reliable to explain the procedures and results of the various experiments. In our first lab‚ we started off calculating and documenting descriptive variables‚ Sex‚ Height‚ Weight‚ Age‚ Gender‚ Heart Rate and Blood Pressure both at rest and after exercising. The purpose of this was to be able to measure these methods as well as comparing the results of females and males for a class description. All students ranged in all the

Blood Pressure The function of the heart is to circulate blood around the body. The heart comprises of four chambers: Right Atrium Left Atrium Right Ventricle Left Ventricle Functionally the heart comprises of two pumps: The right atrium receives blood from the body (de-oxygenated blood) and the right ventricle pumps it into the lungs for aeration (removal of carbon dioxide and add oxygen). The left atrium receives the oxygenated blood from the lungs and the left ventricle pumps

As blood flows through the body‚ it exerts stress on blood vessel walls; creating an effect known as blood pressure. Blood pressure is measured by “the force in the arteries when the heart beats (systolic pressure) and when the heart is at rest (diastolic pressure)” (American Heart Association [AHA]‚ 2008‚ para. 1). An average healthy adult’s blood pressure has a measurement of 120 over 80 or less (AHA‚ 2008‚ para. 3). “High blood pressure (also called hypertension) occurs when your blood moves through

women recorded their heart rate and blood pressure under different conditions. In Figure 1‚ the blood pressure data of an individual female in very good condition is shown under the effect of posture. Figure 2 shows the blood pressure data of the same well-trained female under the effect of exercise. The individual data in both figures 1 and 2 fell outside the standard error of the mean for the class. Figure 3 shows the class data (N=335±3) for blood pressure under the condition of exercise. The
Premium Heart Blood Hypertension
known as high blood pressure‚ is the most common chronic cardiovascular disease in which the blood vessels (arteries) have persistently raised pressure. Blood pressure is the force of blood exerting against the walls of arteries as it is pumped by the heart through out the body. Therefore‚ hypertension occurs when the blood is pushes harder against the arterial wall. It is called the “SILENT KILLER" because it shows no signs and symptoms that is why it is important to check blood pressure regularly

As young men born in the same year (1955)‚ they set out from the same starting point‚ but with radically different personalities. In the early days of personal computers‚ both dropped out of college and launched their own businesses.
