| Goals | The aim of this course is to provide students with information about the general characteristics of the heart, its functions and the regulation of circulation. |
| Course Content | Heart Physiology,Rhythmical excitatory and conductive system of the heart, Regulation of the heart, Cardiac cycle and pressure changes in the heart, Overview of the circulation; medical biophysics of pressure, flow, and resistance, The microcirculation and lymphatic system, Vascular distensibility and functions of the arterial and venous systems, Local and humoral control of tissue flow by the tissues, Nervous regulation of the circulation, and rapid control of arterial pressure, Nervous regulation of the circulation, and rapid control of arterial pressure, Long-term control of arterial pressure, Cardiac output, venous return, and their regulation, Cardiac output, venous return, and their regulation, Heart Valves and Heart Sounds |
