The halogen gas inside a halogen lamp causes the evaporated tungsten to redeposit on the filament. This process, along with high pressure inside the capsule, slows down deterioration of the filament, improves lumen maintenance and extends the lampâs service life.
The mean heart rate as obtained in this study (246 beats min â1, with a range of 207â314 beats min â1) is within the range given by several authors in chicken embryos. In a previous study () we reported heart rate values ranging between 250 and 270 beats min â1 on days 19 and 20 of incubation.
A Human's Heart. Like the human heart, the chicken heart has four chambers - a right atrium and ventricle which receives deoxygenated blood from the body and sends it to the lungs and a left atrium and ventricle which receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and sends it to the body. Birds have a much higher metabolic rate than humans. The average body temperature of a chicken is 41-45 degrees C, compared to a human's average body temperature of 37 degrees C. The pulse rate of a chicken can reach as high as 400 beats/min.
