Cardiac Cycle Experiment

Improved Essays
In light of the study on the Cardiac Cycle Time Effects on Sensory Modulation, it was apparent that the point of the experiment was to investigate the differences in memory recollection subsequent to the presence of various visual stimuli. The study involved the usage of an EOG and an EDA transducer that were attached to my body accordingly before the study was initiated. The purpose of these devices were to monitor the change in muscular electrical activity around the eyes in order to keep track of blinking rates in addition to any respiratory, skin resistance, or heart rate changes that may have occurred during the study in response to specific forms of visual stimuli. During the procedure, it was required that I would be shown a set of two

    Introduction The purpose of this lab was to determine the rate, function, and integrity of the heart during an exercise EKG. An electrocardiogram measures the electrical activity of the heart over time. In this lab a subject will exercise for about 15 minutes, not including rest times and the EKG will measure the heart’s activity.…

    The mitochondrion is an organelle which produces ATP or energy for all cells. The ATP produced by the mitochondria can be used to measure certain physical activities of fruit flies. In this experiment the development, climbing, flight, and in vitro activity of Drosophilia Melanogaster flies were tested. Three different strands of flies were used. One strand was the wild-type (wt) fly, which had normal mitochondria without any mutations.…

    Although human and frog hearts do not look the exact same, they do act very similar. Human hearts have four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. Contrarily, frog hearts have only three chambers: two atria and one ventricle. Frogs are helpful in scientific research of the heart and its many functions because human hearts can obviously not be used. In this case, the frog hearts are helpful in determining the effects of different chemicals on the heart.…

    Introduction The purpose of the lab was to see the effects of heart rate and blood pressure when 3 male and 3 female students exercised compared to when they were at rest. My hypothesis is that the data from the exercise part of the experiment will cause both the heart rate and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) to increase more than the resting state.…

    During a reassessment the ECG machine during stage 4 of the Modified Bruce protocol stopped working due to technical difficulties. This caused the patient to present frustration and irritation when he was informed that the following week he would need to be reexamined. He was very hesitant in being a part of it the first time and was not wanting to go through the hassle of it occurring again. He explained how he does not enjoy it and had already had one done by his cardiologist two months previously and was unaware of why he needed to be doing another one. After providing him with the information on why he was in need of doing one inside the clinic and of it’s significant importance and benefits to us when comparing his pervious results and to see where he may need progression or improvements.…

    The article that was chosen for this assignment to be updated by a more recent article was the research study conducted on how colour based synesthesia affects memory performance on a given task (Smilek, Dixon, Cudahy, & Merikle, 2002). A 21 year old female, C, was the synesthete in this study who claimed to remember all of the digits in four lists that were presented to a university class, as a memory span exercise, with perfect accuracy while the other students could only remember six of the nine digits in each list. It was also discovered by the researchers that she was able to recall the lists with the same amount of accuracy two hours after the information was presented to her, and subsequently two months after. When asked about how C was able to recall the information across a long period of time, she stated that each number had a specific colour associated with it that she could visualize in her mind’s eye and the association did not ever change. Her…

    The new cardiovascular lab will retain the simple ID and labeling components, but will be expanded to include portions that encourage kinesthetic learners. In the new structure, students will visit a series of stations that illustrate the structures and functions of the heart after completing the book objectives. The first station will be a toy model of the heart that can be taken apart to see the internal components, and an actual heart. This station appeals to the visual and kinesthetic learners because they are seeing and touching the heart. Here the students can compare different internal and external structures prior to answering a series of questions describing the relationship of various structures to each other.…

    This is where electrodes are placed are a participants scalp and electrical activity is measured over time. A participant’s response to stimuli can be measured through the scalp electrodes recording their event-related potentials, if fluctuations in activity occur, a positive or negative electrical charge can be observed. It has been shown in recent accounts that short-term retention may be sustained by this increased neural activity (Curtis & D’Esposito, 2003). In a previous study an EEG was implemented to see if there is a delay period in neural activity when participants were asked to recall things in their immediate attention or in their delayed attention (LaRocque & Lewis-Peacock). It was found through an EEG, that there was elevated neuronal activity for items in participant’s immediate attention, and decreased neuronal activity for items outside of participant’s…

There is a clear connection between the language used by the narrator and his psychological state. The narrator switches between calm, logical statements and quick, irrational outbursts. Poe effectively conveys panic in the narrator’s voice, and the reader senses uneasiness and growing tension in the story.…

    In this assignment I will be explaining the physiology of two body systems, the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system in the relation to energy metabolism in the body. Energy metabolism is where energy is generated from nutrients and delivered to the organs around the body. Energy is needed in the body in order muscular movement, circulation of the blood, lymph and tissue fluid, breathing process, cell growth and repair, the transition of nerve impulses and for the building of different complex molecules. The cardiovascular system There are four major functions of the cardiovascular system, these include: the transportation of nutrients, gases and waste products around the body, the protection of the body from infections and blood…
