    measure the pulse rate in terms of heart rate by using heart rate sensor instrument. The heart rate was measured during resting state, after exercise and after watching salamanders. Phobia of particular animals can change the heart rate when approaching scared animals. 11 The results revealed a significant increase in the pulse rate during the exercise as compared to the resting state. A Similar trend was seen after I watched salamanders as well. From the study, it was concluded that heart rate increases

    What causes the change in heart rate and pulse rate with exercise is that during exercise, it requires the heart to pump more blood out to specific organs at a faster rate in order for the organs to send the necessary amount of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles involved in exercise so that they keep working. Heart rate equals pulse rate at rest and after exercise because blood flows towards the heart and radial and carotid arteries at the same rate along the same pathway, or loop. The change in

    approximately equal to the patient’s heart level, pulse palpation began. The left radial artery was visually located. The researcher lightly placed an index and middle finger over the left radial artery and began palpation of the radial pulse for fifteen seconds. The pulse rate was calculated by multiplying the total pulse count for the fifteen second duration by four to determine the heart rate. The rate was recorded as the Post-exercise pulse rate. The earpieces and bell of the stethoscope were

    Investigating the Effect of Exercise on Pulse Rate Aim: To see what happens to the pulse rate during exercise. Prediction: I predict that the pulse rate will increase in order to take more oxygen for respiration. The heartbeat will increase and become stronger to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the muscle cells. The breathing rate will increase in order to get rid of the extra waste such as Carbon dioxide. Respiration is the release of energy. Anaerobic

    Biology Task To investigate the effect of some factor affecting pulse rate Aim TO investigate how exercise affects the pulse rate. To do this, we took our normal pulse rate and then compared it with the pulse rate after exercise (walking). We kept all other factors constant so as to study the effect of exercise on pulse rate. Introduction Our heart is a muscle. It's located a little to the left of the middle of our chest, and it's about the size of our fist. There are lots of muscles all over

    The results gathered from each exercise achieved each objective. The results of the effects of position and exercise on the heart rate and blood pressure showed that there is a high increase in pulse rate and in blood pressure after the post-exercise. The pulse rate indicated that as your arteries expand each time the ventricles pump blood out of the heart when exercising, exercise increases cardiovascular system attempting to deliver more oxygen to the muscles. When a person is standing, blood tend

    Despite its importance, respiration rates are being found to be documented less often that any other vital sign. . This may be due to inadequete understanding of the physiology of respiratory rate and the potential problems that an increased or decreased respiratory rate could mean. (Ansell, Meyer & Thompson 2014). Respiratory rate remains the only vital sign taken manually, without a machine, which could also contribute to why it is inconsistantly taken. Respiratory rate is a highly sensitive marker of

    Variables Affecting Human Arterial Pressure and Pulse Rate BIOL-204 Introduction: The woozy feeling when standing up too quickly. After going for a run, feeling as if one more beat and the heart would project itself out of the chest. Or quite the opposite and being in a very relaxed state. These are all changes one experiences at some time or another. What causes the different feelings and how each variable affects pulse rate and blood pressure has many wondering. Because of this curiosity

    include using Ventolin inhaler. Paramedic report shows that her pulse rate is 140 bpm, which should have been between 70-100 bpm. Higher pulse rate indicates that the person is prone to sudden asthma attacks (Dawson, 2014), especially after any physical event. Her blood pressure is 130/70, where we can see that her diastolic pressure is low. Her respiratory rate is 40 bpm, this is a highly dangerous rate for any adult, as respiratory rate should be between 12-20 for any adult. This indicates that she
