what does an increased pulse rate indicate about the heart rate and flow of blood in someone's body?

Answer 1

It indicates that the heart is having to beat more times per minute to supply the blood flow the body needs.

That extra flow can be because the blood vessels are constricted by cold or stress or because muscles need more blood flow for extra work. Athletes and people who exercise a lot develop hearts that can supply their body needs with fewer beats per minute (lower pulse rate). People with heart problems (constricted arteries, leaking valves, holes between chambers, weakened cardiac muscle) need more heartbeats to move the blood needed.

Answer 2

Increased Pulse

Answer 3

An increased pulse rate means that your heart is beating faster. Lots of things can incrrease your heart rate from excercise to chemical messengers lik epinephrine or adrenaline. These allow for your pulse to go faster. The only reason that your rate is increasing is that there is a higher demand for oxygen in your body.

Answer 4

increased pulse = increased heart rate *the pulse reflects the heart rate, as a pulse is felt in the peripheral arteries of the heart,* and increased pulse may or may not demonstrate increased blood flow, as increased pulse can actually be there to compensate for blood volume loss (or decrease flow) trying to offset the imbalance, or be a response to shock, trauma, anxiety, and about a million other differential diagnoses.

Answer 5

Indicates that your heart is beating faster and working harder to pump more blood through your system... are you asking what chemical reaction takes place? or just the result of an increased pulse rate?

Answer 6

It's a direct relationship. A faster heart rate (beats per second) equals a faster pulse rate.
