  1. Vital Sign Response to Ice Water By: Krista Fulkerson and Kara Morris

  2. Introduction • Our blood pressure is influenced by sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. • The sympathetic system regulates blood pressure. • Baroreceptors influence the parasympathetic nervous system to restore homeostasis.

  3. In this experiment… • Changes in temperature impact vital signs. • The cold stimulus will serve as an unpleasant stimulus activating the “fight or flight” response.

  4. Null Hypothesis • The ice bath will no effect on the vital signs.

  5. Method • Thirty students at MCHS will be tested. • The subjects will fill out a background questionnaire. • Blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen level will be recorded before and after the ice bath using a Blood Pressure Monitor and an Oxygen Sensor.

  6. Method Cont. • Subject’s feet will be submerged in an ice bath for one minute and then removed. • Blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen levels will be recordedand analyzed.

  7. Progress Report

  8. Progress Report Cont.
