1. Heart Rate Labs
-Obtain graphical representation of heart rate and blood pressure.

-Compare heart rate and blood pressure before and after exposure to cold stimulus.

-Observe an example of sympathetic nervous system activation (“fight or flight response”).

2. Blood Typing Analysis
- Obtain graphic representation of heart rate and blood pressure.

-Determine the effect of exercise on heart rate, and systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressures.

-Use blood pressure readings and pulse to infer changes in cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance with exercise.

-Correlate the fitness level of individuals with amount of daily exercise.

3. Analyzing the Heart with EKG 

-Obtain graphical representation of the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time.

-Learn to recognize the different wave forms seen in an EKG, and associate these wave forms with activity of the heart.

-Determine the heart rate by determining the rate of individual wave forms in the EKG.

-Compare wave forms generated by alternate EKG lead placements.

4. Lung Volume
-Obtain graphical representation of lung capacities and volumes.

-Compare lung volumes between males and females.

-Correlate lung volumes with clinical conditions.

5. Lung Volume and Factors
-Obtain graphical representation of normal tidal volume.

-Compare tidal volumes generated by various physiologic challenges.

-Correlate your findings with real-life situations.
