Regulation of Human Heart Rate Lab Intro/Directions
Introduction • 1. Why do you need to have a heart? Why do you need to have blood circulate to all parts of your body?
Answers • 1. You need a heart to pump blood. • 2. You need blood to circulate to all the parts of your body in order for oxygen to get to all body cells (gas exchange) • Oxygen/ Carbon Dioxide exchange
Introduction • How does your heart pump blood? What is a heart beat?
Answers • The left and right ventricles pump blood to your body: ie cardiac muscle • The heart beat is the sound of two valves opening/closing in the heart.>>>>.LUB DUB LUB DUB
Answer: • NO
List some activities or stimuli that you think may increase a person’s heart rate.
Answers • Lots of possible answers • Exercise; nervousness; etc.
Why would it be useful for the heart to beat faster during these activities or in response to these stimuli?
Answer: • You need blood to move faster! So heart needs to pump faster in order for the blood to deliver oxygen/glucose and pick up carbon dioxide.
Are there any activities or stimuli that you think may decrease a person’s heart rate?
Answers • Relaxing exercises • Yoga • Massage • Acupucture • Reflection
Measuring Heart Rate Accurately • Steps to follow (use your lab sheet) • Measure pulse rate for 30 seconds • Multiply number by two
GROUPS OF 4student jobs • SUBJECT (person we is getting pulse rate measured) • Measure pulse on left arm • Measure pulse on right arm • Use stop watch to time a 30 second interval • * if you have three people…one person must have two jobs!
Accuracy • IF both people in group did not get same reading do it again until pulse rate is accurate.
Designing your Experiment • Discuss with group ideas concerning activities or stimuli which may increase or decrease heart rate. • Choose a hypothesis that your group would like to test • Raise your hand when finished so I can check it!
Plan your experimental procedure • Must be numerical…..1,2,3 etc
conclusion • 1. Restate your Hypothesis • 2. Do you accept or reject your hypothesis? • 3. What was your average pulse rate? (activity or stimuli) • 4. Explain why the subject’s heart rate increased while they were performing the activity. Be specific • 5. IF we were to do this again, what would you change? (procedures)
