Homeostasis and how the body responds to exercise. This report will interpret the results of the practical activities that was done in order to monitor the changes in heart rate‚ temperature and blood pressure before and after exercise. Blood pressure is the measure of how much pressure is put on the walls of the blood vessels when the blood is pumped through them. This is measured in two parts‚ the larger number on top is known as the systolic pressure‚ this measures the pressure as the blood

Homeostasis is the body’s ability to maintain a constant balance between the internal environment and external environment at a constant rate‚ despite changes which may affect our external environment such as body temperature and the amount of water in our bodies. By keeping this internal balance it allows our bodies to function efficiently. The negative feedback loop is produced when changes to our internal environment changes from its normal range. In this instance the brain and the nervous system

Steve has a history of hypertension which is a common risk factor of haemorrhagic strokes. When hypertension is not managed well‚ can cause a lot of pressure to the muscles of the intracerebral artery walls as it responds by pushing back harder causing the walls to become thick. This leads to the intracerebral arteries to be narrow causing less space for blood flow. A lifestyle factor that can be a risk to Steve’s hypertension is the excessive alcohol intake and study shows that 74% drinkers will
