Factors That Affect Heart Rate

Investigating factors that affect heart rate

Introduction
Respiration is a process in the body that is highly required for the body in order for it to stay in proper and normal working condition. During this process the body takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide out of the body and into the atmosphere. Respiration is split into two different categories which are aerobic and anaerobic respiration. These two forms of respiration are both used in producing and storing cellular energy but the slight difference is that with aerobic respiration oxygen is taken into our lungs and works with glucose in order to make energy. In other words energy is released in cells by breaking down of food in the …show more content…

Since it is not as efficient that human body is forced to make its food out of glucose. As stated before this type of respiration occurs when the body is undergoing intense exercise where minimal oxygen is needed and mostly glucose is used. Because of this a fluid known as lactic acid is produced and spread throughout the body causing muscle pulls due to the lack of oxygen.
The respiration rate in humans is affected by a number of different factors such as age, weight and the intensity of exercise. Due to the above factors an individual’s breath and heart rate will be affected. I will be investigating the rate at which an individual’s respiration rate will be affected as they are subjected to intense exercise.

    permitted through facilitated diffusion involving glucose transporters. Glucose transporters are specialised for different cell types, for muscle and fat cells, type 4 glucose transporters (GLUT4) are used, as muscle cells are vital to athlete performance in the rainbow rage, GLUT4 shall be examined in this example. Firstly, insulin binds to insulin receptors on the surface of the cell. This sends a signal to GLUT4 vesicles from inside the cell initiating their movement to the cell wall. GLUT4 vesicles fuse to the outer cell membrane, catalysing the movement of glucose into the cell, this is the major endocytic process within cells.

    Understanding respiratory volumes, capacities, and measurements will help me perform my job as a medical assistant because they are significant being a medical assistant. First of all, when the patient is on the bed, I will measure the respiratory rate while he/she is at relaxation. In the next, I will observe the rise and fall of the victim 's chest and count the number of respirations for one full minute. Then, I will record the current time, respiratory rate and respiratory characteristics. Spirometry is used diagnose conditions that affect breathing such as asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and cystic fibrosis.

    Thus, the sympathetic nervous system increases heart rate, and the forced contractions widen the airways making it easier to breathe. Your body now releases stored energy, which allows for increased strength in muscles, and can also cause your palms to sweat, pupils to dilate, and hair to stand up. The parasympathetic division is most active during resting conditions, hence, why it can also be called, “rest and digest”. This division controls body processes during ordinary situations. It generally slows down your heart rate and decreases your blood

    Human experimentation is not okay! Human experimentation is not okay, because if that person 's experiment goes wrong they are dead and never coming back to life. So many things could go wrong in that situation. The person could die or something else bad, ruining that person 's whole life both physically and emotionally. In my opinion, no human should be tortured just for a science experiment.

    Cellular Respiration One of the main essentials of life that all organisms need in order to function in our world is, energy. We receive that energy from the food that we eat. Cellular respiration is the most efficient way for a cell to receive the energy stored in food. In cellular respiration, a catabolic pathway, which breaks down the molecules into smaller units, in order to produce adenosine triphosphate, also known as, ATP. ATP, is used by cells in the act of regular cellular operations, it is a “high energy” molecule.

    The stomata are the most critical piece to this process, as this is where CO2 enters and can be stored, and where water and O2 exit. Cellular respiration also known as oxidative metabolism is important to convert biochemical energy from nutrients in the cells of living organisms to useful energy known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Without cellular respiration living organisms would not be able to sustain life. This process is done by cells exchanging gases within its surroundings to create adenosine triphosphate commonly known as ADT, which is used by the cells as a source of energy. This process is done through numerous reactions; an example is metabolic pathway.

  • Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercise

    Diaphragmatic breathing is a technique that has been shown to interrupt the sympathetic nervous systems response, resulting in lowering of stress levels (The University of Texas at Austin Mental Health Center, 2015). This is done by allowing more oxygen into the blood stream, meaning that the heart will not have to work as hard to beat and will beat less quickly. The brain will register this and the amount of stress hormones released will decrease, resulting in the stress level to decrease until the individual is at a normal level of functioning (The University of Texas at Austin Mental Health Center, 2015). While Diaphragmatic breathing has been found useful for strengthen core muscles of athletes (Nelson, 2012) it has also be found effective

    It stated that people whose heart rate returns to the RHR more quickly after a cardiovascular exercise are in a better cardiovascular condition; as they have a lower heart rate during a peak exercise but the faster their heart rate recovers, the fitter and healthier your heart. In table 1, 2 and graph 7, there is a huge difference in each test subjects’ RHR before they began the exercise and their HR taken directly after they completed the exercise. Graph 8 also shows the difference in RHR and HR between the physically unfit and the physically fit test subjects; the physically fit test subjects had a lower average RHR before the exercise of 75 bpm and a average HR after the exercise of 97 bpm compared to the physically unfit. “Ideal Heart Rate Recovery Times” concluded the faster your heart rate recovers (or slows down) the fitter and healthier your heart; in graph 10 a clear difference can be seen in the Heart Rate Recovery Times between the physically unfit and the physically fit test subjects. The physically unfit test subjects had a higher recovery time of 10 minutes than the physically fit test subjects’ recovery time of 8 minutes.
