shrimps (UNT Lab Manual‚ 2017). They normally inhabit fresh to partly salty water and feed on fish‚ carrion‚ plants‚ and detritus. Because they are completely aquatic‚ they rely on their gills for breathing‚ but can spend short periods of time out of the water if their gills will not dry. Like most crustaceans‚ they have a hard‚ calcified exoskeleton. The heart is located in the upper portion of the cephalothorax‚ which is located just in front of the first abdominal segment (UNT Lab Manual‚ 2017)

Variables Affecting Human Arterial Pressure and Pulse Pressure BIOL 204-506 Remi Ben-Davies Dashaun Lee‚ Amanda Easter‚ and Lynne Baker April 9th‚ 2015 1 Introduction: Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to determine how different variables may affect arterial pressure and pulse rate. Two subjects were used as models for the tests. The first two tests required the use of sphygmomanometers and stethoscopes to measure the arterial pressure and pulse rate. The last test required sphygmomanometers

Introduction When the heart beats‚ it pumps blood round the body to give it the energy and oxygen it needs. As the blood moves‚ it pushes against the sides of the blood vessels. The strength of this pushing is your blood pressure. If the blood pressure is too high‚ it puts extra strain on your arteries (and your heart) and this may lead to heart attacks and strokes. Having high blood pressure (hypertension) is not usually something that you feel or notice. It does not tend to produce obvious signs

placement‚ I encountered an obese elderly man with type 2 diabetes who was bed bound. His BP was 98/73 so I decided to do a manual blood pressure (BP) to make sure it was not a mechanical error from the automatic machine and recorded 99/75. His other vital signs were in between the flags. I asked my patient how he was feeling‚ he said he felt fine. I told him his blood pressure was a bit low and if this was normal for him. He said it has been low a bit recently. I asked him if he could have a glass of

These are important in determining the wellbeing of a patient because they display in numbers how one is feeling or reacting to certain medications and treatments. There are “norms” or normal numbers and when a patient

Hormones can react to increase blood pressure when it becomes low‚ the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system uses several ways to temporarily increase blood pressure when it has dropped for example during the fight or flight response. During the response‚ the sympathetic division is needed to stimulate the adrenal glands to release the hormones epinephrine and norepineprine which stimulate the heart to beat faster and for blood to flow more forcefully‚ this effect makes most of the

The affect of caffeine on Daphnia Heart rate Aim: To see the effect of caffeine on the heart rate of the water flea Daphnia. Introduction: Caffeine is a stimulant which is derived from leaves‚ flowers and seeds of plants. The plant uses the caffeine as a way to repel insects as it is used as a natural pesticide by paralyzing and killing certain insects. It is used as a stimulant to human the central nervous system by increasing the stimulatory of the neurotransmitters‚ however high levels

Introduction: Systolic blood pressure‚ the highest pressure in the cardiac cycle‚ measures the pressure in the arteries as the left ventricle contracts. Diastolic blood pressure‚ the lowest pressure in the cardiac cycle‚ measures the pressure in the arteries as the ventricles relax and refill with blood just before the next ventricular contraction. We measure blood pressure using a sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope. To measure the systolic pressure‚ place the blood pressure cuff on the upper arm
