    The arterioles in the skeletal muscles dilate, which increases blood flow to the muscles and leads to an overall drop in peripheral resistance. At the same time there is vasoconstriction in the vessels supplying blood to the abdominal organs and kidneys. This makes sense: if an individual was running from an attacking lion, digestion wouldn’t be a high priority while the muscles involved in escape would be. Another cardiovascular response to exercise is an increase in blood pressure, particularly systolic pressure: this is a result of the increase in the volume of blood being pumped from the heart.3 Finally there is the longer-term response to continuing to exercise, which is remodeling of the…

    Based on the results from Table 1, there were position-dependent and exercise-dependent changes in the heart rate. It appears that the post-exercise pulses were greater than the standing pulses, and that the standing pulses were greater than the resting pulses. These changes can be explained by the effects of the force of gravity that occurs in these different positions. After an exercise, a person tends to have a greater heart rate in order to pump oxygen to the muscles. When a person is standing their heart rate will increase to pump blood against the force of gravity to the brain. In contrast, a person tends to have a lower heart rate in the sitting position because the effects of the force of gravity are less than in the standing…

    Homeostasis exercise lab

    Background Information: Homeostasis is the maintaining of a balanced condition in the body despite changing external conditions or demands on the body. The circulatory system works with the respiratory system in order to deliver nutrients to the body’s cells. The respiratory system is made of the mouth and nose, trachea, and lungs. The respiratory system brings oxygen into the lungs where it is delivered to the blood vessels. The lungs are where the circulatory system takes over. The circulatory system includes the heart, blood, and blood vessels. The blood vessels in the lungs, called capillaries, take oxygen from the lungs and deliver it to the organs, muscles, brain and other tissues of the body. When oxygen arrives where it is needed, it will leave the blood by diffusion. Along the way, blood picks up a waste called carbon dioxide which enters the blood by the process of diffusion. When the blood makes it back to the lungs, carbon dioxide leaves the blood and enters the lungs where it is then breathed out.…

    The individual results of the well-trained female showed varying results in blood pressure. Considering this is a well-trained female college student, exercise or caffeine prior to the lab could explain the above average blood pressure. In the posture portion of the experiment, a drop in blood pressure was expected when the individual rapidly stood up after lying prone however, the BP remained stable. If this measurement was not taken quickly enough or the individual did not stand up fast enough, the baroreceptors would have already adjusted for the decrease in arterial pressure in the upper body thereby stabilizing blood pressure. In the class data for the effect of conditioning on heart rate, it was found that individuals with a higher level of conditioning had a lower heart rate at all exercise levels. Their resting heart rate decreased by 6.7 beats per minute from poor to good fitness and again from good fitness to excellent fitness. Highly trained individuals also remained at a lower heart rate during exercise. Individuals in poor or good condition demonstrated a much higher resting heart rate and reached a higher heart rate during the moderate and heavy exercise. Participants in this experiment that exercised regularly would have a lower heart for many reasons. Athletes tend to have a larger blood volume and, therefore, a greater carrying capacity of oxygen. Their ventricular…

    The purpose of this experiment was to see what effect 30 seconds of physical activity would have on a subject’s blood pressure. In this case, physical activity is defined as stair running at a moderate pace for 30 seconds. Standing blood pressure was measured before and after physical activity for comparison purposes. Three trials were completed and initial blood pressure was 94/75 mmHg, 125/92 mmHg, and 106/92 mmHg. Blood pressure after physical activity was 137/98, 127/95, and 137/99 mmHg. There was an increase in blood pressure after physical activity.…

    The Effect of Exercise on Heart Rate The aim of this investigation is to find out how different types of exercise can affect my heart rate. To measure and record my heart rate, I am going to undergo an experimental test. I am going to do 3 different types of exercise: walking, light jog and lastly hard running. First, I will draw out a table to record my results, and then I will measure my resting heart rate for one minute.…

    First of all, when a person begins exercising it immediately starts working their heart. When a person’s heart begins working because of exercise it pumps harder; this can lead to a better circulation for blood flow. Since the blood flow is increasing it causes more oxygen to be carried throughout the body. Better circulation due to exercise can also lower one’s blood pressure. All of these can result in a stronger and healthier heart due to working out.…
