Course Objectives

Use the concepts of vascular pressure, geometry and elasticity along with blood viscosity and velocity to assess energy storage and convective transport throughout the body. Use the concepts of partial pressure, diffusion, and microvascular geometry and blood flow to assess diffusive transport in tissues. Analyze series and parallel circuits to determine the effects of the control of vascular resistance on blood pressure and flow under normal and pathological conditions. Being able to integrate concepts to understand and describe the biophysics of circulation in the healthy and disease state.

Teaching Methods

Frontal lessons and practical exercises in small groups.

Assessment Methods

The outcome of the test is evaluated as a result of learning the specific training objectives.

Texts

Provided or suggested by the teacher.

This course study in deep the physiology and biophysics of the cardiovascular system (in health and disease), blood flow control and red blood cell distribution, and vascular mechanics in the microcirculation and large vessels.
