Case Study 1 A&P II Age-Related Changes that Occur in the Cardiovascular System As we age‚ certain changes in the heart are inevitable. Even in the absence of disease‚ the wall of the heart thickens‚ heart rate slows‚ maximum heart rate declines‚ and the heart doesn’t pump as efficiently as it once did. Health problems‚ such as hypertension‚ coronary disease‚ congestive heart failure‚ and myocardial infraction are more common in the elderly and aggravate age- related degenerative change in the

Temperature on the Heart Rate of Daphnia magna Joseph Ezra Gallo BY124L MW 8:30-11:30 Introduction Ectothermic animals are animals whose body temperature is affected by their surroundings. This means that if the environment is cold the animal will be cold. If the environment is warm the animal will be warm. This is because the animal doesn’t have the capability of regulating its body systems to keep a constant body temperature. When an ectothermic animal is cold‚ its heart rate will lower. When

Daphnia Experiment Report 1. Introduction Caffeine is found in many plant species‚ where it acts as a natural pesticide. It is found most commonly in cocoa‚ tea and coffee‚ but is also artificially added to some soft drinks such as cola to act as a flavour enhancer. When consumed by humans‚ caffeine works as a stimulant causing amounts of released neurotransmitters to be increased. High use of caffeine has been related with raised blood pressure‚ restlessness‚ insomnia and anxiety which‚ in

Does caffeine affect the heart rate of Daphnia? Introduction In this experiment I aim to find out if caffeine has an affect on heart rate. Instead of using human subject‚ whom may already have a high tolerance to caffeine or could have ingested caffeine that day making the tests unfair‚ I will use Daphnia‚ a crustacean. They have on contact with caffeine making it fair. It will be easier to observe as it has a translucent body‚ making it able to see the heart beating under a microscope. It will

aim of this practical is to investigate the effect of exercise on heart rate and breathing rate. We will use a digital heart rate monitor strapped on our chest while we perform different levels of exercise. A digital watch is also provided which receives signals from the heart rate monitor and displays your current heart rate on the screen. To measure the breathing rate at different levels of exercise‚ we measure the breathing rate before physical activity by counting the number of breaths in 10 seconds

information Daphnia Magna is an arthropod that can grow up to 5 mm. It is a filter feeder meaning it feeds off of suspended particles in the water. Daphnia can consume particles that range from 1µ to 50µ. The heart of Daphnia is located dorsally meaning it’s located in the back. The heart rate of Daphnia can range due to many variables‚ one being temperature. "At a temperature averaging 20o C its heart rate is about 200 beats per minute."2 As the temperature surrounding the Daphnia decreases so

Does caffeine affect heart rate? Background Information: Caffeine is a bitter white crystalline xanthine alkaloid that acts as a psychoactive stimulant drug. A German chemist‚ Friedrich Ferdinand Runge‚ discovered it in 1819. Plants produce caffeine as an insecticide. It is found in varying quantities in the beans‚ leaves‚ and fruit of over 60 plants‚ where it acts as a natural pesticide that paralyses and kills certain insects feeding on the plants. Cocoa in South America‚ coffee in Africa

and access to a healthy culture of Daphnia. Students can readily follow this procedure working in pairs. Because of the variability of results between individual Daphnia it is not appropriate to make conclusions from one set of results‚ so each pair (or group) of students should carry out more than one investigation to contribute to the class set. One option is to record a live video of a sample Daphnia‚ during a time period in which students count the heart beats. Then‚ you can replay the video
