Document Summary

Weeks 4-6 (chapters 14, 15, 16, 24): cardiovascular system: basic design features; the role of the heart; microcirculation; blood pressure regulation and homeostasis; blood constituents and immunity. 1) to relate the basic anatomy of the heart to its function; 3) to understand the role of electrical conductance in generating coordinated heart beats; to understand how hormones and neurotransmitters modulate heart function; 4) to understand the design and function of the cardiomyocyte and relate it to whole heart function; 9) to know the functions of platelets in wound healing. Weeks 7-8 (chapters 17, 18): respiratory system: basic design; mechanics of breathing; blood cells; gas exchange and transport. 1) to know the composition of the atmosphere, and relate this to human respiration: be able to calculate partial pressures of respiratory gases under different conditions, understand how ventilatory muscles generate negative and positive pressure in the thorax;
