What happens to the human body when the hart rate increases

As heart rate increases, blood pumps faster through your body and you start to have better reflexes. You brain sends out signals to your legs. This can be an example of the flight or fight response. Your leg and arm muscles tighten up, blood is decreasing from lesser needed spots such as your chest, back, and head areas.

During deep inspiration, our body thinks we have little amount of blood in circulation and so it tries to maintain the cardiac output by increasing the heart rate.

Having said that, I'll try to explain further.

When we breathe in, the pressure in our thoracic cavity reduces. This causes a couple of things to happen:
<span><span><span>There is an increase in the venous return from the superior and inferior vena cava to right atrium of the heart. </span>This causes an enormous flow of blood to the right ventricle,and ultimately to the lungs
</span><span><span>The lungs expand. </span>This makes them reserve more blood. So, blood pools in the lungs and less return to the left atrium.</span></span><span>SO WHAT? </span>
<span>Well, since there is a decrease in the amount of blood that gets back to the heart, the heart pumps less amount of blood to the systemic circulation. This decrease in the amount of blood coming from the heart is sensed by baroreceptors located in the arch of the aorta and the carotid bifurcation. These 'guys' are known as the carotid and aortic bodies. They trigger the sympathetic nervous system to produce adrenaline which causes the heart rate to increase. </span>

WHY?
This is all in the aim of maintaining cardiac output.
Cardiac output is calculated as:
CO (cardiac output) = Heart rate X Stroke Volume (the volume of blood released from the heart with each heart beat)
<span>Hence, </span>if the stroke volume decreases, the heart rate increases.

<span>When we exhale deeply, the opposite happens. There is an increase in the venous return to the left atrium from of the heart, leading to an increase in stroke volume, and a decrease in heart rate. (to maintain cardiac output, as explained earlier).</span>

Why does darkness affect the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis?
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Plants stop their daytime activities and rest during the night much like animals do. ... Light independent reactions require the energy gathered in the thylakoids. Mitochondria produce sugars more effectively in the darkness than chloroplasts do.

(SOLVED!!) Which of the following examples best describes an organism's niche?
Vikentia [17]

Given what we know, the example that most appropriately described an organism's niche is that Panda bears have a very limited diet, primarily feeding on bamboo in their environment.

<h3>What is a niche in ecology?</h3>
  • It is described as a role filled by an organism.
  • This role or trait is specific to the environment of the organism.
  • It describes the adaptation of the organism to the resources present.

Therefore, given the definition of a niche as an adaptation or role filled by an organism that is specific to their environment, we can confirm that the example with the panda bears fits this description since they will only eat bamboo, being the <u>only bear species to not be carnivorous</u>.

TSH controls hormone synthesis, ADH decreases urine, melatonin is involved in circadian rhythm, TH regulates metabolism, insulin is produced in the pancreas and Aldosterone regulates salt.

<h3>What is a hormone?</h3>

A hormone is a chemical messenger used by the body to play a specific function and thus maintain homeostatic balance.

Hormones are secreted by specialized cells such as insulin that is secreted by pancreatic islet cells in this organ (i.e., the pancreas).

In conclusion, the function of TSH is to control hormone synthesis in the thyroid, ADH decreases the amount of urine, melatonin is involved in circadian rhythm, TH is a thyroid hormone that regulates metabolism, insulin is produced in the pancreas and Aldosterone regulates salt amount.
