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

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

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood. The heart pumps blood into the arteries (blood vessels)‚ which carry the blood throughout the body. Blood pressure is one of the vital signs. High blood pressure (hypertension) is a serious condition that can lead to various health problems (coronary heart disease‚ heart failure‚ stroke).It is dangerous because it makes the heart work harder to pump blood to the body and contributes to hardening

Analysis of Orthostatic Vital Signs The purpose of this assignment was to measure‚ document and analyse six recordings of orthostatic blood pressure‚ orthostatic pulse and respiratory rate on my lab partner. Orthostatic Hypotension is a condition when there is a drop in systolic pressure of more than 20 mm Hg‚ or orthostatic pulse increases of 20 bpm or more which occurs due to a quick change to a standing position (Jarvis‚ pp. 163). Six recordings were taken over a certain period of time to better
