Below is a chart listing several factors that involved in the circulatory system and heart function. Compare these factors in a healthy and unhealthy individual. Fill in the outside blanks with the word ‘higher’ or ‘lower.’

Having taking many physiology courses, and knowing the definition of homeostasis. An unhealthy individual with relations to the 4 issues you addressed would be anything out of balance.

Heart Rate - An unhealthy individual with a low HR would have limited perfusion, thus, would die.
- An unhealthy individual with a high resting HR would cause additional muscle strain for the heart, may also lead to increased BP which can cause organ damage if prolonged.

Blood Pressure - Obviously if it is to low, the perfusion will not be sufficient and blood will pool.
- If too high organ damage occurs - i.e aneurysms

Increase during Excersie (of HR) - Is a needed thing for most individuals as the metabolic needs of our cells increase
- However, more fit individuals have a higher stroke volume - i.e marathoners and have a lower HR during excercise

Stroke Volume - Low stroke volume - Leads to low perfusion
- HIgh stroke volume leads to high perfusion - also high SV can decrease HR (good thing)

I must say, I don't like the way that chart is made as homeostasis of the cardiac system is a balancing.

My advice is know the relationships of the cardiac system. I.e CO = SV*HR
Know how the body reacts in different situations, sadly however, the term healthy and unhealthy is the best way to describe it.
