Introduction

"Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that occur in living organisms in order to maintain life. These processes allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments.


This experiment measures basic body metabolic parameters:

- pulse
- respiration rate
- blood pressure
- temperature and sweat


The objective of this lab is to measure body metabolic mechanisms in response to different levels of exercise: pulse, respiration rate, blood pressure, temperature (internal and external) and sweat."
