Question
For the average healthy human, why is
the pulse rate lower immediately upon
standing compared the the pulse rate in
the reclining position? (Mark all that
apply)
When reclining, there is a gravitational
force working on our body the allows the
heart to exert less pressure to pump blood
to the head without working against
gravity
O When we stand up, immediately the pulse
rate goes down due to the hearts current
state of exerting less force while in the
reclining position.
O The heart has to work harder against
gravity to pump blood to all regions of the
body when in the reclining position
