Factors Affecting Heart Rate‚ Respiratory Rate‚ and Blood Pressure By Ann-Geyn PanganFor Michele MacKenieInvestigative Team:Biology 0993Nejat MuradOctober 14‚ 2014Jenn SakelariouIntroduction In class we studied circulatory system‚ especially the heart that plays a large part in human. We learned and analyzed its part and function in the body. The purpose of this experiment is to compare the readings of how the heart rate‚ respiratory rate and blood pressure respond to increasing levels of physical

music affect the heart rate and what different types of music have a greater affect on heart rate? Music most definitely has emotional value. Heart rate can be directly influenced by these emotional changes. Our group decided to test music tempo’s effect on heart rate. This experiment is relevant to one’s health because it is important to understand how to control one’s heart rate. Before we started conducting our experiment‚ we hypothesized that fast tempo music increases heart rates while slower

whether alcohol and caffeine has an effect on heart rate‚ using the freshwater crustacean‚ Daphnia magna‚ as the experimental subject. For humans‚ alcohol works as a depressant‚ slowing down the heart rate of the consumer; caffeine works as a stimulant‚ increasing the heart rate of the consumer. The heart depends on an internal pacemaker system to keep it pumping consistently and at the right speed. Alcohol disturbs this pacemaker system and causes the heart to beat irregularly. Studies show that

The Effects of Caffeine on the Heart Rate of Daphnia This lab was designed to show how caffeine affected the heart rate of daphnia after exposing them to different concentrations of caffeine for ten minutes. Caffeine is a stimulant‚ which‚ in humans‚ causes heart rates and blood pressure to increase. Its effects range from mild alertness to heightened anxiety and body tension. We wanted to see if caffeine affected the daphnia’s heart rate in the same way. We filled three containers with three different
Premium Heart rate Caffeine
Hypothesis: As the caffeine concentration rises‚ so does the mean heart rate of daphnia. Risk Assessment: In this experiment there are the following risks both for the human that carries out the experiment and the daphnia: ← The human that carries out the experiment should be cautious not to touch the lamp with wet hands since it uses electricity. ← Also‚ be careful not to spill any of the pond water on the floor. ← As for the daphnia‚ there is a chance for them to die as when

Practical 1.1 Introduction: Caffeine belongs to a class of compounds called methylxanthines and can block a receptor on the surface of heart muscle cells for adenosine. In fact‚ it is caffeine’s blockade of the A1 adenosine receptor in the heart that causes the heart to pound after a significant caffeine dose. Caffeine and similar compounds also inhibit a class of enzymes known as cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases. These enzymes are‚ in part responsible for degrading a stimulatory signal produced

Effect of Exercise on Pulse Rate and Blood Pressure Purpose: To determine the effect of jogging on pulse rate and blood pressure. Hypothesis: If you jog then your heart rate and blood pressure will increase. Materials: Tape Measure Blood Pressure Cuff Procedure: 1. Record resting blood pressure and heart rate. 2. Measure out 100m. 3. Jog 100m (same speed every time) 4. When finished jogging 100m record heart rate and blood pressure. 5. Repeat steps 3&4‚ 3 more times 6. Calculate average

Lab#: 15 Title: Exercise/pulse rate Aim: To investigate the effect of exercise on the pulse rate Materials/ Apparatus: Stop watch Diagram: Procedure: 1. The three middle fingers were placed just behind the bottom of the wrist as indicated in the diagram in order to see if the pulse could be felt. 2. (a) If the pulse was not felt the three fingers were moved about until it could be felt. (b) Changing the hand also helped to find the pulse. 3. The number of pulsation
Premium Heart
During exercise your body must adapt to the added stress and pressure you are putting onto it. The heart plays a very important role in maintaining homeostasis during exercise. When exercising your heart rate increases and the “Left Heart” have to pump out more oxygenated blood to the entire body. The sympathetic nervous system also plays an important role during exercise. The sympathetic pathway comes out of the lower cervical and upper thoracic segments of the spinal cord. The sympathetic
