1. Procedure
A. Prepare Physiograph
1. Channel I
- EKG
2. Channel II
-Respiration
3. Channel III
- Blood Pressure
B. Blood Pressure (Exp 18)
1. Calibrate ESG Coupler
2. Record: normal,
standing & reclining blood pressures; during Valsalva maneuver (straining
against a closed glottis), effect of cold . Do not do the effect of exercise
at this time.
C. Respiration (Exp 19)
1. Attach impedance
pneumograph and disc electrodes bellows pneumograph will not be used.
2. Record: normal
respiratory movements (at .25 cm/sec. only), the effect of asphyxia, hyperventilation,
and cord
facilitation. Omitfandg.
D. Integrated Cardiovascular Physiology (Exp.
21)
1. Attach impedance
pneumograph, EKG channel, and ESG coupler
2. Record: normal
blood pressure, EKG, and respiratory movements
3. Exercise
4. Record: recover
1 min., 2 min., 3 min., i min.
II. Report
Section A
1. Title page
2. Records
a. Effect of posture
(1) sitting (normal blood pressure)
(2) standing
(3) reclining
b. Valsalva maneuver
- straining against a closed glottis, as in lifting, defecation, or coughing.
c. Effect of cold.
3.Discussion - Include control mechanisms involved
in normal blood pressure; the effect of posture on blood pressure; and
the effect of the Vaisalva maneuver and cold on blood pressure.
Section B
Records
a. Normal breathing
movements
b. Asphyxia
Discussion - Include the physiological
principles involved in normal, quiet breathing; discuss the effect of asphyxia.
Section C
1. Records
a. Hyperventilation
b. Cord facilitation
2. Discussion - Include the physiological principles
of each situation.
Section D
1. Records
a. Normal EKG, breathing movements,
and blood pressure
b. Post-exercise EKG, breathing
movements, and blood pressure
2. Discussion - Discuss the effects of exercise
on each of the three parameters and the physiological principles involved.
