The transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide in large animals is through the use of a respiratory and circulatory system (Harris-Haller, 226). The respiratory system includes the lungs, and the cardiovascular system includes the heart. The evolution of the heart started from a two-chambered heart of a fish to a four-chambered heart in mammals (Harris-Haller, 229). The purpose of the experiment is to study the cardiopulmonary function of humans. Collecting data from a spirometry, electrocardiogram, blood pressure, pulse, and respiratory rate, the anatomy and physiology of the heart and lungs will be understood. The null hypothesis is the health of the lungs and heart can be determined by the spirometry test, the electrocardiogram test, and the

In discovering the lung capacity the method used was a spirometry data set. This helps the discovery of the the tidal volume (TV), the inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), the expiratory reserve volume (ERV), and the vital capacity. Vital capacity is dependent on age and gender (Harris-Haller, 237). The lungs are fully developed by the age of twenty (“Lung Capacity and Aging”, 2018). By setting up the spirometer and collecting the tidal volume, the inspiratory reserve volume, and the expiratory volume, the vital capacity of the human lungs can be calculated by adding the three volumes together. The electrical activity of the heart is understood with the method of a electrocardiogram (ECG). The ECG will observe the electrical activity of the heart. “The heart contracts and relaxes in a rhythmic cycle” (Urry et al., 921). The phase when the heart contracts is known as the systole; the phase when the heart relaxes is the known as the diastole (Urry et al., 921). In the publication, children with a certain heart disorders underwent cardiographic studies to better understand the activity of their heart (Tuan, 2016). By placing ECG clamps on the wrists, finger, and ankle, the data will be recorded. The data recorded for this part of the experiment is the blood volume to the finger, the blood flow to the finger , and the ECG. The last part of the experiment consisted of the study of
