Patrick Sayers 12/3/12 Period 9 Conclusion and Discussion Part 1 1) As exercise occurs, what happens to pulse rate? Exercise causes your heart to work harder to deliver more blood to energy-hungry muscles, which increases your heart rate 2) Exercise causes your heart to work harder to deliver more blood to energy-hungry muscles, which increases your heart rate. When you feel someone's pulse or your own, you are feeling the pressure pulses created by the beating of the heart. The increased pulse rate increased heart rate. Blood flows more vigorously through the body which leads to increase in blood pressure.

Patrick Sayers 12/5/12 Period 9 My hypothesis is correct. My hypothesis is when you exercise; your pulse rate will go up. Exercise causes your heart to work harder to deliver more blood to energy-hungry muscles, which increases your heart rate. When you feel someone's pulse or your own, you are feeling the pressure pulses created by the beating of the heart. The increased pulse rate increases your heart rate. Blood flows more vigorously through the body which leads to an increase in blood pressure. There is no pattern is the histogram because the pulse rate is random.

Cardiovascular Vocabulary Diastolic Pressure - the blood pressure (as measured by a sphygmomanometer) after the contraction of the heart while the chambers of the heart refill with blood. Arteriole - A small branch of an artery leading into capillaries. Cardiac Output - the amount of blood pumped out by the ventricles in a given period of time. Atrioventricular valve - either of two heart valves through which blood flows from the atria to the ventricles; prevents return of blood to the atrium. Bicuspid Valve - valve with two cusps; situated between the left atrium and the left ventricle. Systolic Pressure - the blood pressure (as measured by a sphygmomanometer) during the contraction of the left ventricle of the heart.
