catabolic versus anabolic

protein synthesis.
HEART RATE
Your heart rate, or pulse, is the
number of times your heart
beats per minute. Normal heart
rate varies from person to
person.
Knowing yours can be an
important heart-health gauge.
NOTE: The normal pulse for healthy adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. The pulse rate ma y fluctuate and
increase with exercise, illness, injury, and emotions. Females ages 12 and older, in general, tend to have faster heart
rates than do males.
BLOOD
PRESSURE
The force of circulating blood on
the walls of the arteries. Blood
pressure is taken using two
measurements: systolic
(measured when the heart beats,
when blood pressure is at its
highest) and diastolic (measured
between heart beats, when blood
pressure is at its lowest).
NOTE: Normal blood pressure for most adults is defined as a systolic pressure of less than 120 a n d a
diastolic pressure of less than 80. Elevated blood pressure is defined as a systolic pressure between 120
an d 129 with a diastolic pressure of less than 80.

Temperature is a measure of an
organism’s ability to generate and get
rid of heat. The human body has
mechanisms to maintain its internal
temperature within a relatively narrow,

it c a n result in disease, such as autoimmunity,

done by the recognition of self and response to non-self.
