Does hot or cold water have a greater effect on your pulse rate?

Our heart works harder when we're moving through water than when we're on land. And the colder the water, the harder the heart must work. Just entering very cold water can lead to a 'cold shock', which can cause a faster heart rate, higher blood pressure, and shortness of breath.

As an endothermic creature, your body regulates its own temperature independent of external temperatures. Part of this regulation process involves your circulatory and cardiovascular system.
When you move, or do any activity which causes your body temperature to rise, your heart beats faster to circulate blood to muscles and to the skin. This encourages your body to sweat. If you are submerged in hot water, your heart will beat faster to cool your body down and regulate body temperature. Fish do the same thing!
In cold water, your heart beats more or less the same until your body temperature falls below a certain point. At that point, your heart rate drops and you will experience responses such as shivering to raise your body temp.

What has a higher density cold or hot water?
Cold water has a greater density than hot water.
What has surface tension greater than water?
Cold custard has a greater surface tension than water, Hence the reason you can run on it.
Why does putting cold water on your pulse points cool you down?
im no scientist but i would think that if you put cool water on pulse points it would cool your blood rapidly wich circulates through your body
Which has a higher entropy a hot water or a cold water?
Entropy is the measure of disorderness. Hot water --> more energy --> less stable --> more disorderness (than Cold water). Therefore, Entropy of Hot water is greater than that of Cold water.
Can hot water freeze easily than cold water?
Yes, hot water can freeze easier than cold water. This is known as the Mpemba effect, but the starting temperature of the water has to be at a precise temperature for this to occur.
How can hot water flaot on cold water?
hot water has a lower density because since it is hot, all the particles repel from each other. therefore, cold water has a greater density that hot water which results in the floating effect
Does ice have more cooling effect or cold water?
Most people would say ice, because it's colder, but I say neither is. Ice is just frozen water (which is a physical change), therefore, neither is better than the other.
What does hot water have that cold water does not have?
Hot water is less denser than cold water and has a greater temperature.
What does cold water have that hot water does not have?
Hot water is less denser than cold water and has a greater temperature.
What has a higher density cold or hot water?
Cold water has a greater density than hot water.
Is the density of warm water greater than cold water?
Yes, cold water is dencer indeed
What is the effect the muscle?
what effect the muscles are the cold water
What effect cold water have on the muscle?
cold water immersion influences muscle
How does cold air effect the density of gas?
'Cold' air will have less volume so the density is greater.
Pulse in a cold patient?
Pulse in a cold patient will be weaker and slower than normal.
What is normal range for pulse rate and what can either raise or lower a pulse?
The normal pulse rate for an audult is 60 to 100 per minute. If you want to rasie your pulse then run around, if you want to lower your pulse then sit down and drink cold water.
Should CPR be done on a child of cold water drowning when submerged for 40 minutes?
After a pulse check for 45 seconds, if no pulse exists commence with CPR.
