Age Related Changes that Occur in the Cardiovascular System Age Related Changes that Occur in the Cardiovascular System In the normal conduction of the heart the electrical impulse starts in the SA node‚ also called the pacemaker of the heart. The electrical impulse travels through the right atrium and through the Bachmann’s bundle into the left atrium. This stimulates the atria to contract. Next the signal travel to the AV node. The AV node slightly delays the signal. This delay is needed

Lab report As part of my module Nip1002 I was required to perform a set of observational skills which included; pulse‚ blood pressure‚ respirations‚ hand washing and urinalysis and then compare them to previous results. In this lab report I am going to discuss blood pressure in detail. Procedure * Explain the procedure to the patient and gain consent * Wash hands thoroughly following the hand wash technique to prevent the transfer of bacteria * Clean equipment e.g. blood pressure cuff

A. Cardiovascular Fitness At the moment‚ my cardiovascular fitness is not very efficient‚ if I do not improve my cardiovascular fitness‚ it will increase my likelihood of heart disease and respiratory problems down the road. By increasing my cardiovascular endurance level‚ it can help my cardiovascular and respiratory systems to function properly while under the stress of challenging exercise sessions. Like the book mentions‚ improving cardiovascular endurance will not only help boost oxygen to

Musculoskeletal response: Increase blood supply: The increase in blood supply might happen as your body starts to work more efficient than usually . The blood supply has to increase because the blood has to go to the parts in your body which you are exercising the most .For example: If you go for a run‚ the blood supply will increase because your legs will need more energy‚ therefore there will be more blood going into your legs than normal because you are overworking them. Increase in muscle
