M2 Discuss the probable homeostatic responses to change in the internal environment during exercise (amendments) I was chosen by my group to do some exercise. I had to run up 6 floors without any stopping. I came back with an increased temperature, pulse, respiration and blood pressure rate. Before I did the exercise my temperature was 36.5°C, my pulse rate was 87 beat per minute (bmp), my respiration rate was 20 respiration breath per minute (Rpm) and blood pressure was 118 over 66 millimetre of mercury (mmHG). After my exercise my temperature was 37.4°C, my pulse rate was 134 beat per minute (bmp), my respiration rate was 35 respiration breath per minute (Rpm) and my blood pressure was 135 over 74 millimetre of mercury (mmHG). There was an increase in my physiological measurements from pre-exercise to post-exercise. My pulse rate increased after exercise because the heart had to beat faster for it to circulate her blood which carried oxygen to the cells. My cells needed enough oxygen supply due to the exercise I did therefore my heart provided the cells with more oxygen which made the pulse rate beat faster. Another reason why my pulse rate increased was because my body was getting rid of waste gases which are CO2 and H2O that are products of respiration. My respiration rate increased because I was using up lots of energy and I also was producing more carbon dioxide. Therefore I had to increase my oxygen intake and I also had to get rid of the carbon dioxide more quickly. My blood pressure increased because when my heart was pumping faster the amount of blood that was going through my vessels increased which put a strain on her vessels. My temperature increased because of the high amount of heat I produced. So basically the mitochondria in my cells helped my body to turn nutrients and oxygen into energy. So every time I contracted my muscles during the
