Document Summary
3-6 credit courses based on literature review, small experimental project. Lewis - weakly electric fish, electric signal for communication. Mennigan - metabolic pathways in fish, microrna, toxicology. Perry - ion balance acid base balance in fish, ventilation. Standen - biomechanics, locomotion intransition from water to land. Amount of diffusion is inversely proportional to the thickness of the wall. Smooth muscle in the walls of the largest veins. Act like a volume reservoir for the blood. Elastic fibers in the walls of aorta (or bulbus arteriosus) Gives elasticity to maintain pressure and flow while heart is resting. Net filtration pressure (nfp) = (bp pif) (opblood opif) Valves that direct lymph to the circulatory system. Dumps at the veins returning to heart at low pressure. Larval nematode invade lymphatic system and block reuptake. Fluid keeps leaking out of the system and does not get reuptake fast enough.
