The Effect of Exercise on Breathing, Blood Pressure and Heart Rate
Introduction
The human respiratory system function is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues of the body. The human circulatory system function is to transport blood from the heart to the various tissues of the body. The components of the human circulatory system include the heart, blood, and blood vessel (M.J. Farabee 2007). Blood pressure is typically written as Systolic/Diastolic. A normal blood pressure range for an adult in Systolic is less than 120 and in diastolic is less than 80. If blood pressure is too high (hypertension) or too low (hypotension) it can cause medical issues for the individual (American Heart Association 2013). The relationship between the human respiratory system and the human circulatory system is the blood that carries the oxygen from the lungs through the blood vessel to deliver it to the various tissues of the body. The propose of this experiment is to know how can the respiratory system and the circulatory system be influence by Physical activities and to know the relationship between the two systems in different conditions.

In the body, bodily systems work hand in hand with one another to perform key functions. The circulatory system is a major system of the body, it comprises of the heart and three types of blood vessels know as the capillaries, veins and arteries. The heart is a muscular pump which has the duty of pumping blood so it is carried to the blood vessels, until it reaches the chambers in the heart. These capillaries carry oxygenated blood via the bloodstream so that organ tissues recive oxygen. The capillaries will take in any excess amount of carbon dioxide; this is carried to veins so the blood can be transported back into the heart and then the lungs.
Those patients that under protocol would require the use of rigid cervical collar, most often need some type of airway adjunct whether that may be an oropharyngeal airway, a nasopharyngeal airway, or through the means of intubation. Studies have shown that cervical spine immobilization techniques, due in fact substantial interfere with airway management. According to Goutcher, even when rigid cervical collars are appropriately place the patients’ mouth opening is reduced by more than 25% (Goutcher & Lochhead, 2005). After a patent airway is established circulation is next crucial aspect, or when it comes to trauma patient the number one aspect. When conducting an initial assessment on a given patient a tell-tale sign of poor circulation is by the observance of jugular vein distention or the absence of JVD. An injury that goes hand in hand with head trauma patients, where the worry is placed on carefully monitoring signs and symptoms of increased or decreased intracranial pressure. Multiple studies have been published about the increased intracranial pressure related to the use of rigid cervical collars. As a result of an increased intracranial pressure, cerebral perfusion is directly affected causing a decrease, which can potential lead to ischemia producing further brain damage. Additionally, a painful stimulus was noted in patients relating
End tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) monitoring is the non‐invasive measurement of exhaled CO2. ETCO2 monitoring is one of the objective standards set in the Intensive Care Society guidelines 2002 for the transport of the critically ill adult, and is mandated by the American Heart Association in the new pediatric advanced life support guidelines, which state that all intubations must be confirmed by some form of ETCO2 measurement. It can be concluded that the use of capnography monitoring on ALL patients who receive PCA can reduce the incidence of adverse events from IV opioids in the postoperative setting.

Using a bucket that held about 3 gallons of water, the bucket was filled up with 6-7inches of water. This allowed enough room for the subject to fully submerse the face to ensure stimulation of the vagus nerve. The water was then chilled to 15 degrees Celsius. iWork’s Labscribe 3 software was used to record the subject’s data using a pulse plethysmography and a respiration monitor. This was plugged in and activated to ensure functioning before patient arrived.
The respiratory system is a complex organ structure of the human body anatomy, and the primary purpose of this system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood vessels to carry the precious gaseous element to all parts of the body to accomplish cell respiration. The respiratory system completes this important function of breathing throughout inspiration. In the breathing process inhaling oxygen is essential for cells to metabolize nutrients and carry out some other tasks, but it must occur simultaneously with exhaling when the carbon dioxide is excreted, this exchange of gases is the respiratory system's means of getting oxygen to the blood (McGowan, Jefferies & Turley, 2004).
This experiment made use of a single male subject who was 20 years old, with a height of 190.5 cm and weight of 104 kg. The study consisted of obtaining heart rates after the following conditions 1) after one minute in the supine position, 2) immediately after moving to a sitting position, 3) one minute after moving into a sitting position, 4) immediately after moving to a standing position, 3) one m...
Contrary to popular belief, getting fit is not the only benefit in exercising. Exercising offers many benefits, getting fit being the most obvious benefit, other benefits include prolonged health, reduction of chronic illnesses, improved mental health, boost energy, promotes better sleep, and even enhances your sex life.
According to the CDC, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, adults should do at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity exercise, or 75 minutes week of intense aerobic activity. Everyone should try to do at least the recommended amount of weekly exercise. Not exercising can be detrimental to one’s health. Exercising moderately for at least 150 minutes a week or working out intensely for 75 minutes can add, on average, 3.4 years to one’s lifespan, while people who do not exercise have the highest premature death rate. Being active has both mental and physical benefits, adding exercise to your routine can create a happier, healthier lifestyle. Exercise, no matter how strenuous or simple, is an important activity for all people.

This experiment is designed to test whether or not gender is a major contributing factor to the recovery heart rate in humans. Most would assume that the male heart rate would be considerably faster in recovery time than that of the female. This experiment furthers that assumption by eliminating uncontrolled variables such as age, build, and health conditions.
The heart and lungs grind closely and thoroughly to meet our tissues oxygen demands. If the equilibrium between oxygen demand and supply becomes troubled and distressed in critical illness, tissue hypoxia and cell death can promptly transpire. An indispensable and vital portion of critical care is to preserve and conserve cardiopulmonary function with the assistance of pharmacotherapy, fluid administration, and respiratory
Monnet et al(1) published a review article on assessment of volume responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients using heart and lung interactions. He explained that mechanical ventilation produces cyclic changes left ventricular stroke volume due to inspiration and expiration induced changes in LV preload. It denotes preload dependency of left ventricle indirectly right ventricle. He also describes various limitations of respiration variations in SV for predicting fluid responsiveness.
The roles of the circulatory and respiratory system both carry important responsibilities and are essential in their jobs to the human body. The circulatory system is one, if not the, most important system in the human body. The circulatory system is made up of the heart, blood, and blood vessels. Within the blood vessels, there are three types: arteries, veins, and capillaries. The heart is an organ made up of cardiac muscle that has a role similar to a pump. When the muscles in the heart contract, it pumps fresh blood away from the heart, through a main artery called the aorta, and to the organs and cells of the body. Nutrients and oxygen then enter the cells through diffusion of the tissues. The respiratory system transports oxygen to the circulatory system. When transporting oxygen to the circulatory system, this will in turn transport oxygen to the rest of the cells in the body. Aside from transporting oxygen to the body, the respiratory system also plays a role in the removal of carbon dioxide and other contaminants in the body. These two systems effectively and efficiently work together in order to supply the body with oxygen and remove carbon dioxide and any other
Most people know exercise is good for you, but they usually don’t know just how good it really is. Everyone receives many benefits from exercising no matter your age, sex or physical ability. Exercise can affect your body directly and indirectly. There are several ways exercise affects people: emotionally, internally, and physically.
