I. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE HEART I. LOCATION OF THE HEART The heart is located in the chest between the lungs behind the sternum and above the diaphragm. It is surrounded by the pericardium. Its size is about that of a fist‚ and its weight is about 250-300 g. Its center is located about 1.5 cm to the left of the midsagittal plane. Located above the heart are the great vessels: the superior and inferior vena cava‚ the pulmonary artery and vein‚ as well as the aorta. The aortic arch lies

Exercise physiology Touch football is a game derived from Rugby League that requires the opposition to tag or touch the opponent to stop their progress. This assignment is centred on exercise physiology in relation to touch football and my performance in the position of centre. Exercise physiology is the study of the function of the human body during various exercise conditions. Throughout a game of touch football our bodies rely on various energy systems to meet energy demands. Whilst addressing

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY Chronic Kidney Disease Cardiovascular System The cardiovascular system is sometimes called the circulatory system. It consists of the heart‚ which is a muscular pumping device‚ and a closed system of vessels called arteries‚ veins‚ and capillaries. As the name implies‚ blood contained in the circulatory system is pumped by the heart around a closed circuit of vessels as it passes again and again through the various "circulations" of the body.

and mistakes that could‚ if not‚ contribute wrong readings and conclusions. In testing for the calibration of speed‚ the values in trial 1‚ 2 and 3 were very similar to the adjusted level of speed on the treadmill. The speed level in trial 1 was 1.0 mph‚ which yielded a measured value of 1.06 mi/hr. Trial 2 was 3.0 mph‚ which yielded 3.2 mi/hr and tiral 3 was 4.0 mph‚ which yielded 4.3 mi/hr. Although the measured values yielded a few points off‚ the test was still valid because the results were similar

Abstract The primary purpose of this laboratory experiment was to record the effects that light exercise has on different cardiovascular functions such as mean blood pressure‚ cardiac out put‚ and total peripheral resistance by comparing both of the numerical values before and after exercise. Prior to exercise‚ the mean blood pressure (MBP) was 86.8 mmHg with a standard deviation of 7.4. After exercise‚ MBP was 96.3 mmHg with a standard deviation of 9.2. The cardiac output (CO) was 5.3 Liters/minute
