From the heart, this blood is pumped to the lungs, where carbon dioxide passes into the alveoli to be exhaled. The heart then pumps the oxygen-rich blood through vessels to your cells. As the blood nears cells, it enters capillaries again. Oxygen moves out of the capillaries and into the cells. Cells send carbon dioxide and other wastes through the capillaries into the blood to be carried away. Next, blood flows back toward your heart to be pumped to the lungs. Carbon dioxide…

face every day. There are three main changes that occur in our body when our Dive reflex triggers; Bradycardia, Peripheral vasoconstriction and blood shift.

Beginning when you take a bite, your muscular system aids…

possible across the lifespan, from infants to older adults. Cardiac function seems to be dependent upon the type of seizure occurring. The majority of complex partial, tonic-clonic and temporal lobe seizures are associated with increased heart rate. This increase in heart rate trends in a steep acceleration initially then has marked variations at the time of seizure and postictally. Tachycardia rates that reach a certain threshold may cause low cardiac output and possibly lead to cardiogenic…
