An Examination Of The Heart – From The Micro To The Macro Level
Option #1: Differences in Hearts
Each person has a unique set of circumstances that lead to a unique heart, but there are some trends where we see consistent similarities. For example, how does a runner's heart perform differently from that of the average non-runner? How do infant's hearts work differently from adult hearts? Is there a difference in male and female hearts? Pick any two groups of people that interest you (they do not have to be one of the groups just mentioned) to compare for this assignment.
Address the following points in your paper:
1) Describe the function of the heart.
2) Trace the flow of blood through the heart to the rest of the body.
3) Describe what a healthy heart sounds like; what a healthy heart rate is; and what a healthy blood pressure is.
4) Compare and contrast heart sounds, heart rate, and blood pressure in the two groups of focus for your paper.
5) Are the sounds, heart rate, and blood pressure in these groups of people healthy, or is there a problem? Explain.
6) What was most interesting about comparing these two groups?
