1. Identify the different areas on the body where the pulse can be

taken. a. Neck (Caratoid artery) b. Wrist (Radial artery)

Student Name beats per minute (bpm)

B. HOW TO USE THE STETHOSCOPE?

1. From the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Mb_O79Gh4o, state TWO functions

in using the stethoscope.

i. To listen to the heartbeat

ii.

2. Watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBwr2GZCmQM to understand the

sound of the heartbeat. Name and describe the terms which give a `lub’ sound and a `dub’
sound.

3. Discuss the factors that might cause a person’s pulse rate to increase.

4. Explain the increment of pulse rates during exercise.

5. Give your opinion on whether the methods given in this experiment will be a valid
way of assessing a person’s fitness. If not, recommend a better method.

6. Justify the results in terms of lifestyle (i.e., do you exercise regularly, do you
smoke, etc.?)

7. Give conclusions based on your results.
