1) What is the difference between the sizes of an artery, capillary, and vein?

2) What do you think the relationship between temperature and heart beat is?

3) Blood pressure is…the force exerted against blood vessel walls. Responsible for the flow of blood

Follow a blood cell from the heart…

• Start at the Aorta – largest artery in body– Contains OXYGEN

• Cell leaves aorta = ARTERY

• Continues to travel to a small artery = ARTERIOLE

CAPILLARIES“Gas Exchange”

O2 CO2 out • An arteriole becomes and even smaller

CAPILLARY

• This is where OXYGEN leaves the red blood cell

• This is where CARBON DIOXIDE enters the red blood cell

Oxygen leaves RBC and enters tissue;

Carbon dioxide leaves tissue and enters RBC

Follow a blood cell back to the heart…

• Red blood cell with CARBON DIOXIDE

• Cell travels in blood through a capillary and enters a VENULE (small vein)

• Continues to travel to a VEIN

• Returns to HEART

• Blood moving through the blood vessels exerts pressure against the vessel walls. This blood pressure is highest in the aorta. It decreases as the blood moves through the arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins.

Understanding Blood Pressure

• When we measure blood pressure, we are actually measuring the systolic pressure and the diastolic pressure separately.

• This is why you always see blood pressure reported as two numbers, one "over" the other. For example:

• In a blood pressure reading of 110/80,110 = systolic pressure80 = diastolic pressure.

• The numbers refer to the number of millimeters the pressure will raise a column of mercury.

• The blood pressure of teenagers is frequently in the range of 120/70.

Hypothesis

• Will blood pressure be higher or lower if lying vs standing?

• Will cold temp increase or decrease Daphnia heart beat?

Daphnia

• Humans are homeothermic (warm blooded) in that the body generates heat internally to maintain a certain temperature level. Lower animals do not generate heat internally and thus relay on external sources for their warmth.

• This is known as poikilothermic (cold blooded). Daphnia is such an animal. This small, about 1 mm, aquatic crustacean draws its heat from the surrounding water in which it lives. As the temperature of the water increases, so does its body temperature. An increase in temperatures means an increase in activity, both physically and metabolically. This increase can be seen as an increase in heart rate. The object of this lab is to record the temperature vs heart rate for Daphnia.

Discussion Questions

1) Why does temperature affect heart rate in ectothermic organisms?

2) Discuss what results you might obtain if you repeated this experiment using an endothermic organism

3) Why does smoking cause a rise in blood pressure?

4) Explain why blood pressure and heart rate differ when measured in reclining position and in a standing position.

• Blood pressure is a measure of how hard your blood is pushing against the walls of your veins while it is pumped. Blood pressure is lower when standing due to gravity.

Why do some people feel faint when they go quickly from lying down to standing?

The force of gravity causes the blood pressure in vessels going to the brain to drop. This causes temporary faintness until homeostatic mechanisms elevate blood pressure in these vessels.

How and why does heart rate change with body position?

The heart rate generally increases from lying to sitting to standing as more energy is required to maintain each of these postures.
