Associations between heart size, anthropometric and cardiovascular indicators - an undergraduate physiology teaching laboratory.
Heart size is a critical indicator of cardiovascular health, and influenced by various anthropometric measures, such as age, sex, body height, body weight, fat free mass, and associates with hand palm diameter. Understanding the relationship between heart size and these anthropometric indicators is vital for clinical practice and for understanding and exploring the anatomy and physiology of the heart. We designed a physiology teaching laboratory for second-year undergraduate students to facilitate this understanding. The laboratory had three primary learning objectives: 1. To observe heart size measurement using ultrasound by a professional cardiac sonographer. 2. To measure anthropometric parameters (age, sex, body height, body weight, body fat percentage, and hand palm diameter) alongside cardiovascular measures (heart rate and blood pressure). 3. To comprehend the basic qualitative and quantitative relationships between heart size and both the anthropometric and cardiovascular measurements.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Physiology Education promotes and disseminates educational scholarship in order to enhance teaching and learning of physiology, neuroscience and pathophysiology. The journal publishes peer-reviewed descriptions of innovations that improve teaching in the classroom and laboratory, essays on education, and review articles based on our current understanding of physiological mechanisms. Submissions that evaluate new technologies for teaching and research, and educational pedagogy, are especially welcome. The audience for the journal includes educators at all levels: K–12, undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs.
