Stimuli and Responses: Control of Heart Rate

Stimuli and Responses: Control of Heart Rate

  • Understand and explain the term myogenic
  • Relate stages of conductivity to cardiac cycle and blood movement
  • Examine links between heart disease and exercise
  • Discuss roles and locations of chemoreceptors and pressure receptors
  • Analyze roles of the autonomic nervous system and effectors in controlling heart rate
  • Possibility of calculating cardiac output or planning a method for investigating change in cardiac output
  • Consider variables and validity in carrying out related experiments.
