The study of cardio physiology was broken up into five distinct parts all centering on the cardiovascular system. The first lab was utilization of the electrocardiogram (ECG). This studied the electrical activities of the heart by placing electrodes on different parts of the skin. This results in a graph on calibrated paper of these activities. These graphs are useful in the diagnosis of heart disease and heart abnormalities. Alongside natural heart abnormalities are those induced by chemical substances

program after the completion of the study. The participants were asked to return at weekly intervals (1‚ 2‚ 3‚ 5‚ 7‚ 10 and 15 respectively) to have a reading of their blood pressure taken by the researchers. The researchers used the same sphygmomanometer for each participant and the readings were taken 5 minutes after arrival at the research centre. Note: The systolic phase of the heart beat is when the heart contracts and drives the blood out. Write two comparative questions you could pose

As the older person population increases in size‚ the percentage of fall risk will also likely to increase as a consequences reduction in balance. Age-associated functional declines in muscle strength and the sensory systems‚ in addition to several other issues‚ such as cognitive function may contribute to the reductions of balance in older person. There are many screening test widely available that can be used to test balance in older person. According to Mancini and Horak (2010)‚ the primary reasons

abnormalities in the organs. Lastly there is percussion which isn’t used very much it involves tapping on the chest checking to see if the lungs are in good shape. Mr. Smith now needs his blood pressure checked that includes an instrument called a sphygmomanometer which has a cuff that’s placed on the arm and pumps up to cut off blood circulation. Then the cuff slowly deflates and the doctor uses the stethoscope to listen as the blood moving through arteries. Reading the blood pressure isn’t really that

According to Denman: Increasing size of uterus Greater pressure on blood vessels Regurgitation of blood to cerebral vessels Cerebral congestion convulsions A PICTURE OF Dr. THOMAS DENMAN In 1849 Dr. William Tyler Smith challenged this theory because he believed that pregnancy was a state of fullness in circulation and many cases of Convulsions would be observed if such congestion caused convulsions. According to him‚ the cause are; • Any excessive mechanical

Preparation of Water Baths Three different water baths were prepared for the experiment‚ one at room temperature and the other two at 15°C and at 5°C. The room temperature water bath was prepared by filling a basin with tap water about ¾ full so that when the subject’s face is submerged‚ the water will not spill. A thermometer was used in order to obtain the temperature of the water. The temperature obtained was at 26°C. The water baths having temperatures of 15°C and 5°C were also prepared the

For over 100 years‚ nurses have performed this surveillance using the same vital signs: temperature‚ pulse‚ blood pressure‚ respiratory rate and

The cardiac cycle is one complete heart beat. During the cycle each atrium and ventricle will contract and relax once. THe contraction of the chamber is called systole and the relaxation is called diastole. The average

pressure can be measured through an invasive procedure uses a catheter which is inserted into the artery. The catheter is connected to a transducer which measures the pressure directly out of the artery. A noninvasive procedure includes using a sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope. The noninvasive approach is done using an inflatable cuff that is placed on the upper arm. The cuff is then inflated to a pressure of 20 to 30 mm Hg above the systolic pressure which causes the blood flow to stop. The pressure
