A. Describe the short-term reflex control of blood pressure,including peripheral receptors, neural control centers, andperipheral effectors.
B. Discuss the details of the mechanisms of respiratorygas transport and respiratory gasexchange (at the lungs and at the tissues), includinglocations of events and chemistry.
C. Describe how the events of digestive physiology integratedand coordinated together along the GI tract, givingspecific examples of these regulatory mechanisms.What is their functional importance?
D. Describe the strategic goals, events and physiologicalregulation of the absorptive and post-absorptive metabolic states.Discuss the hormonal and neural mechanisms, and the effectortargets.
E. Describe the fluid dynamics occurring across capillary wallsof the microvasculature, including the relevant osmotic andhydrostatic forces (Starling forces). Why are the lymphatics animportant player in fluid homeostasis?
