How does your resting pulse rate compare to your standing pulse?
Resting pulse rate is typically lower than standing pulse rate due to the body's increased demand for oxygen and blood flow when in an upright position. When standing, the heart works harder to maintain blood circulation against gravity, resulting in a higher pulse rate. Conversely, resting pulse rate reflects a state of relaxation and less physical demand, leading to a more efficient heart rate. The difference between the two rates can indicate cardiovascular fitness and overall health.
Why is your pulse different lying down than when you are standing?
When you are lying down your pulse rate is much slower because your body is not having to work as hard to pump blood around your body. When you are standing your heart has to work much harder to got blood all around the body and it has to work against gravity to get blood to your head which makes your pulse rate much faster. This is also the case for when you are sitting down.
Factors that affect the pulse rate?
General health of the 'patient' Whether sitting, lying down or standing If they have been exercising recently If they are anxious If they are on medication.
What causes your pulse rate to rise?
Your pulse rate could become higher due to taking excercise, becoming excited or scared. If it is persistant however, it could be a symptom of heart disease, thyroid malfunction or emphysema, amongst other things. Get checked out!
Where is the correct location for obtaining the apical pulse?
Sitting position or standing position to record appropriately.
Name of the thumb pulse?
The neck pulse is the corotid pulse; the wrist pulse is the radial pulse; the arm pulse is the brachial pulse. it seems that the pulses are named according to the artery palpated; therefore, your thumb pulse must be your princeps pollicis pulse. this is an educated guess.
What is a hamster pulse?
A hamster pulse is the pulse of a hamster.
What are the types of pulse modulation?
Pulse width mod, pulse amplitude mod, pulse position mod, pulse code mod.
What is apical pulse?
apical pulse is actually the heartbeat
Will exercise have an effect on your pulse rate?
== exercise effect the pulse because if you walk it doesnt effect it but if you run it does effect it because the heart is pumping faster so the blood is moving faster = Actually, pulse rate can change with walking, too, just not as much. Pulse rate is lowest when the body is resting, and increases as the level of muscle activity increases, since increases in activity make higher demands for oxygen for the muscles to work. The pulse rate quickens in response to the body's need for more oxygen (and for more disposal of the carbon dioxide formed in the muscles and other tissues from combining oxygen and the carbons in glucose or fat as they are burned for fuel, thus providing energy for the muscles to use to contract). SImply standing up is more exercise than resting, and although we don't usually think of simply standing up as exercise, the pulse rate will increase slightly. Further increases in exercise level, such as walking, will increase the pulse rate further, even though we might not sense the increase in pulse rate until periods of heavier exercise such as running.
Where to evaluate Pulse?
Measure the pulse in the wrist area, radial pulse.
Where in groin is a pulse found?
it is called the femoral pulse.
