Mastering the Control and Regulation of Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems

Mastering the Control and Regulation of Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems

Learning Objective

Understand the intricate control and regulation of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

What do you already know about the cardiovascular and respiratory system regulation and control?

Cardiovascular and Respiratory System Regulation and Control

Explore the mechanisms behind the regulation and control of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems:

Concentration Changes of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide

Examine the concentration changes of oxygen and carbon dioxide and their impact on the body.

Gaseous Exchange at the Alveoli and Tissues

Understand the process of gaseous exchange at the alveoli and tissues.

Role of Chemoreceptors and Baroreceptors

Define the role of chemoreceptors and baroreceptors in the regulation of cardiovascular and respiratory functions.

Parasympathetic and Sympathetic Pathways

Explore the parasympathetic and sympathetic pathways and their influence on cardiovascular and respiratory activities.

Role of the Medulla Oblongata in Coordination

Understand the role of the medulla oblongata in coordinating cardiovascular and respiratory functions.

Elasticity of Blood Vessels

Explain the relationship between the elasticity of blood vessels and their function.

Control of Heart Rate

Explore the control of heart rate involving the SA, AV nodes, bundle of His, and Purkinje fibers.

Control of Inspiration, Expiration, and Ventilation Rate

Understand the mechanisms involved in controlling inspiration, expiration, and ventilation rate.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
