How long are the intervals between heart beats?
about 5cm Depends, but usually nothing over one second between heart beats. Anything more than 2 per second is a bad sign as well.
What is the normal heart beats per minute?
somewhere between 60 to 100 beats per minute.if your heart rate is normally about 90, a heart rate of 60 is going to be abnormal low. if you are 2 years old your heart beat should be 115 - 170. the standard range of a normal healthy human adult heart rate is said to be 60 - 80 beats per minute when at rest.
What is the pulse rate of an elephant?
•The Heart of an elephant weighs between 20-30 kg (40 and 60 pounds) and beats about 30 times a minute.An elephant's heart beats around 25-30 beats per minute. An elephant's heart weighs around 50 pounds.
What is the heart made out of?
There's a hierarchy to this; in the largest form, the heart is made from muscle tissue; muscle tissue is made from cells, and cells are composed of elements.The heart is hollow and shaped like a cone. It is made of specialized muscle tissue which allows it to beat your entire lifetime. It is relatively small and is about the same size as your closed fist. Your teacher's heart weighs about 10 oz, and is about 5 inches long and 3 1/2 inches wide at its broadest point.It pumps 30 times it's own weight each minute. Here's a good arithmetic question for you - how much does it actually pump in a minute? If you did your math right - you came up with an answer of 5.3 quarts.How much would it pump in a day (24 hours)? (answer 1800 gal) and how much would it pump in a year? (answer 1.3 million gal) WOW! that sure is a lot of blood! Once that blood leaves the heart it travels about 60,000 miles of blood vessels before it returns back to the heart. If the average heart beats 60 times a minute how many miles does the blood travel in an entire 60 seconds?? Anything that can work that hard with with only a little rest between beats has to be something very strong. It's a muscle.

What is the difference between thevoluntry muscle and the involuntry muscle?
An involuntary muscle is a muscle you have no control over. An involuntary muscle is you heart or lungs. You breathe and you heart beats, but you can not control it. A voluntary muscle is a muscle that you control like your legs. You have control over when you walk. I like doin' yo mom
Why does your heart muscle beat between each beat?
Normally this would not occur. Beats between regularly spaced beats are called premature contractions and can occur with either the top or bottom chambers of the heart. This has the potential for causing an irregular heartbeat called an arrhythmia.
How does regular exercise strengthen your heart muscle?
Regular exercise strengthens your heart muscle by increasing its efficiency, allowing it to pump blood more effectively with each beat. It also improves circulation, which reduces strain on the heart. Additionally, exercise can lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, further promoting heart health.
What is voluntry muscle?
A voluntary muscle is a muscle that is "controlled by an individual's will". Meaning, you can control it or operate it. An involuntary muscle is your heart, because your heart automatically, or involuntarily beats and so on, keeping you alive.
What are murmurs?
Those which occur during relaxation of the heart between beats are called diastolic murmurs. Those which occur during contraction of the heart muscle are called systolic murmurs
Where are the busiet muscles in the body?
The heart muscle. This muscle beats every second on electrical impulse keeping it on a steady pace. In one day the heart beats 100,000 times on average. In one year it beats about 36.5 million times. In one lifetime, the heart beats over 2.5 billion times, being the bodies busiest organ.
Why does blood continue flowing through the arteries in between the beats of the heart?
the heart beats and the air pushes the blood
Does the heart rest between beats?
The Heart as a whole does not rest between beats. It is a portion that relaxes when the other chambers still functions and vice versa.
What are diastolic murmurs?
Those which occur during relaxation of the heart between beats are called diastolic murmurs. Those which occur during contraction of the heart muscle are called systolic murmurs
Will you be stronger if your heart beats faster?
The heart pumps, usually, at a steady rate between 60-80 beats per minute. The heart beats faster during exercise, fear or fright, and in illness. Ironically, regular exercise makes your resting heart rate become lower because the heart works more efficiently as a muscle. But having a fast heart rate, especially a persistently fast heart rate will not make you stronger; it actually makes your heart work HARDER.
