It depends on the type and size of the animal (or person). For example, because a cat is much smaller than a giraffe, the cat has a faster heartbeat. This is because of the animal's vein length. The bigger the animal, the longer the veins. The longer the veins, the more time it takes to reach the end of the vein and reach the heart again.
For this specific question on the BPM of a hedgehog, Actively foraging hedgehogs have a heart rate of 190 - 280 BPM (beats per minute) this drops to less than 14 during hibernation.
What else can I help you with?
Which muscle contract about 70 times a minute?
cardiac muscle
The cardiac muscle contracts how many times per minute?
The cardiac muscle contracts approximately 60-100 times per minute in a healthy adult at rest. This is referred to as the heart rate.
What types of muscles make up the heart?
The heart is made up of heart muscle known as Cardiac muscle, or myocardium This contracts almost 70 times a minute and pumps about 5 liters of blood each minute.
How does the structure of cardiac muscle help it perform its function?
Cardiac muscle is also an involuntary muscle. (Do you need to tell your heart to beat?) It is a specialized kind of muscle found only within the heart. This muscle pumps blood through the body. The average person's heart beats more than 4,000 times in an hour (figuring on an average of 70 beats per minute), so, by time you turn 70, your heart will beat some two-and-a-half billion times. Cardiac muscle, like smooth muscle, does not tire.
How are skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle different?
Your cardiac muscle never gets tired, and it is the only muscle in it's category. Your skeletal muscle gets tired many times, and it has many other skeletal muscles in it's category. Your cardiac muscle is also a lot stronger than you skeletal muscle.Sorry, also your heart is an involuntary muscle. We have no control over it. Whereas skeletal muscles are voluntary, we decide to move them or not.
What creates heart rate?
Heart rate is simply the number of times that the heart beats per minute. This is generated by the "pacemaker" of the body which is the signal sent from the brain to the heart's sinoatrial (SA) node. This causes the initiation of contraction of the cardiac muscle which spreads across the heart to contract the atria and ventricles in a rhythmic fashion. The number of times this signal is sent from the brain to the heart gives the heart rate.
How fast does an average heart contract in a minute?
It contracts around 70-80 times in a minute without exercise .
The difference between the structure of cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle?
One key difference between cardiac and skeletal muscles is that skeletal muscles are controlled by the nervous system, while cardiac muscles move involuntarily. In addition, cardiac muscles are only found in the heart, while skeletal muscles are found throughout the entire body.
When the heart is beating at a rate of 75 times per minute the duration of one cardiac cycle is?
.8 seconds
How many times does your heart contract each minute under normal conditions?
pickles
Can skeletal muscle be tetanised?
Yes, because of the short refractory period of skeletal muscle (compared to cardiac muscle), skeletal muscle can be restimulated before the muscle is completely relaxed. If repeated enough times, the contractions fuse together i.e. they become tetanised.
The letters bpm stand for what phrase in the cardiac measurement?
In the context of cardiac measurement, "bpm" stands for "beats per minute." This unit measures the heart rate, indicating how many times the heart beats in one minute. It is commonly used to assess cardiovascular health and fitness levels.
