This explains the thought in Montresor’s head of why he wanted to kill Fortunato for Fortunato had hurt him. As a cause of the insults, Montresor would leave Fortunato in the catacombs to die.

Someone looking to hurt another would probably not wish that they would live happily after death, so it is unusual that Montresor wishes that Fortunato rests in

431 wordsRead More - Edgar Alan Poe's The Cask of Amontillandoanalytical essayAs one of the greatest German philosophers, Friedrich Nietzsche, said, “It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.” In the short story “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe, Montresor mentions in the beginning of the story, “The thousand injuries of Fortunato” and that he is suffering because of these injuries. Montresor does not clarify what these injuries are. These injuries might be related to the fact that Fortunato thinks that nobody is a wine connoisseur who knows everything except himself and this might be insulting Montresor indirectly.

It appears that the post-exercise pulses were greater than the standing pulse, and that the standing pulses were greater than the resting pulses. These changes can be explained by the effects of force of gravity that occurs in these different positions. After an exercise, a person tends to have a greater heart rate in order to pump oxygen to the muscles. When a person is standing their heart rate will increase to pump blood against the force of gravity to the brain. In contrast, a person tends to have a lower heart rate in the sitting position because the effects of the force of gravity are less than in the standing position.

- Explains that the post-exercise pulses were greater than the standing pulse, and that a person's heart rate increased to pump blood against the force of gravity to the brain.
- Explains that systolic blood pressure increased from the resting position to the standing position and to post-exercise recordings.
- Explains that the diastolic number was highest for the post-exercise recording because there is an increase in the oxygen demand by the muscles.

- Explains that systolic blood pressure increased from the resting position to the standing position and to post-exercise recordings.
- Explains that the diastolic number was highest for the post-exercise recording because there is an increase in the oxygen demand by the muscles.
- Demonstrates that blood pressure and heart rate are directly proportional, and that the cardiovascular system is constantly adjusting to meet the demands of the tissues and organs in the body.
- Explains that the amplitude of p, qrs, and t wave is not always the same for each cardiac cycle, but the numbers are very close in range of the previous cycle.
- Explains that the r wave had the largest amplitude because the p wave (atria) is smaller in muscle mass compared to the qrs complex (ventricles).
- Explains that the three different waveforms represent the electrical activity of the heart: the p wave, the qrs complex, and the t wave. the change in amplitude represent different heartbeat patterns.
- Explains that the waveforms of the other subjects do not have the same amplitudes. this can be explained by different heartbeat patterns, type movements, and positions during the ecg recordings.
- Explains that the lub sound is the closing of the atrioventricles and the dub sound occurs around the t wave.
- Explains that the time delay between the r wave and the lub sound is always the same. however, an issue of human health such as asthma or sinuses could affect this.
