As the hert ontrts, pressure rises in the rteries (systoli). Arteril lood pressure dereses etween hert ontrtions (distoli). A sphygmomnometer (lood pressure guge), is devie used to mesure rteril lood An infltle uff, positioned round n rm, hs ir pumped into it using lood flow to stop. A vlve on the uff is turned, relesing ir from the uff, nd rteril lood egins flowing gin. A mehnil mnometer mesures the rteril lood pressure s lood flow egins (systoli lood pressure reding). As ir pressure in the uff ontinues to derese, lood flows unostruted (distoli lood pressure reding). A stethosope mgnifies the lood flow sounds in the ody. The stethosope is used in onjuntion with the lood pressure guge. 2 3 4 Ask students wht keeps their ody live. (Brin, hert, lungs?) Tell them tht the hert is one of the mjor orgns; it supplies lood to the whole ody nd tht lood rries oxygen nd other neessities. If its supply is too low or too high, it retes helth issue. Ask if nyone hs ever hd his/her lood pressure tken, or if they ve seen it done. Disuss the importne of eing le to hek lood pressure to mintin helth, or know if medil ttention is needed. (For themselves, or hild they re for, or for n elderly reltive, for exmple) Ativities 5 6 Ask students to tke notes s you spek, write, or point out hert prts with the model. Identify Prts in the Blood Pressure Kit. Group students in pirs nd keep room quiet. Stethosope: Instrument mgnifying ody sounds like lood flow. Hve eh student put on stethosope nd tp the end piee. Position the end piee over prtner s rm fold nd listen for rteril lood flow sounds. It will e fint thump sound. Prtners reverse roles. Wipe erpiees with lohol swps etween students. ontinued on pge 4 3

Sphygmomnometer: Mesures Tke the ruer uff out of the loth overing for visul demonstrtion. Eh student uses the hnd pump to inrese ir pressure to t lest 80 mmhg nd turns the ir relese vlve to relese ir from the uff. Blood Pressure Mhine Types (Sphygmomnometers) Use the Internet to reserh nd find piture the 3 different types of sphygmomnometers: merury, neroid, nd digitl. Tell them they will e using one kind of lood pressure mesuring tool. It is neroid (mnul, non-invsive.) It relies on listening, so it is wht is lled usulttory. (Relted to hering.) Explin the merury lood pressure mhine nd hve students identify the units on the pressure guge in their neroid kit (mmhg = millimeters of Merury). 8 9 As lss, sk students to rise their hnds if they hve hd their lood pressure tken y eh type of sphygmomnometer. Whih type is most populr tody? Explin the rdi yle s follows: Erly in the yle the hert is relxed. It fills the ventriles with lood. This tkes out 4 seonds. It is lled the distole segment. Now the hert ontrts, spurting the lood through the ventriles nd out to the rteries. This lso tkes out 4 seonds. It is lled the systole segment. (These 2 segments mke the thump-thump sound people sy of the hert. But tht sound is NOT wht medil prtitioner hers through the stethosope.
