How does your pulse and blood pressure work?

Your "pulse" is how fast your heart is beating, and is measured in how many beats in a minute. This is controlled by several things. One is how healthy your heart is (if you have a strong heart, i.e. from exercising, your heart does not have to beat as often for the same effect and therefore your pulse will be lower). If you are exercising, your pulse or heart rate will increase to meet the increasing oxygen demands of your muscles. Also, if you are afraid, stressed out, or angry, your sympathetic nervous system stimulates the "flight or fight" response which increases your heart rate for the same reason. Your Blood pressure, however, is how much pressure is actually being exerted on the insides of your blood vessels when your heart beats. This is affected by three things: the size of your blood vessels, the strength of your heart, and the amount of fluid or blood in your bloodstream. The flight or fight response can affect these things by causing your heart to beat harder, therefore exerting more pressure, and by causing your blood vessels to constrict, or narrow. Both of these things raise your blood pressure. Again, exercise also causes your heart to beat harder and raises your blood pressure. Nicotine causes your blood vessels to constrict and this increases blood pressure. If you are dehydrated or bleeding severely, your blood pressure goes down because there is less fluid in your blood stream. Your body will compensate for this by increasing your pulse rate and constricting your blood vessels. The numbers you see in a blood pressure represent your systolic Blood Pressure (the first and usually higher number) and your diastolic Blood Pressure. The systolic blood pressure is the pressure exerted on your blood vessels when your heart pumps. This is why this pressure is higher. The diastolic Blood Pressure is the pressure in your blood vessels in between heart beats. Review: Related Links for more info.

Why does your pulse increase as your ACTIVITY increases?

Why do arteries function better with thick walls?

Blood vessels that take blood away from the heart are called arteries. The high pressure of the blood pushes strongly on the thick, elastic artery walls. They stretch and shrink as the blood moves through them. This movement of artery walls makes a pulse. When an artery passes close to the skin the pulse can be felt and therefore used to count how fast the heart is beating.

I wondered what are the symptoms of high blood pressure?

There are no common high blood pressure symptoms at the pressures usually encountered in a hypertensive person. This is why it also goes by the sinister name of the 'Silent Killer'. With extremely high blood pressure however symptoms such as headache, nosebleeds, facial flushing or visual disturbance can occur. This is an emergency. Other symptoms occure when one has had high blood pressure for a long time and there are complications - so the symptoms will then depend upon the organ affected, for example, heart, kidney or brain.

Correlations between pulse rate and blod pressure?

Generally speaking, your tissues need a certain amount of blood supplied to it. With that in mind if the pressure is decreased the rate of supply (Pulse) will have to increase in order to supply the tissues with sufficient oxygen supply. During periods of blood loss or shock, the body compensates by elevating the heart rate, if the pressure can be restored; the rate will return. There is no fixed equation to say that a B/P of 120/80 = HR of 90 and B/P 90/50 = HR 120, however your body will determine what is needed.

How fast is a 5 year olds hear rate?

It depends. Genetics can trace back to whenever and find that everyone has a different pulse rate, because they have high or low blood pressure.
