a.

Summary Introduction

To define: The term “perfusion” and explain its significance in relation to cardiovascular physiology.

Introduction: Living organisms needs different systems that are properly functioning for a healthy living. Cardiovascular system is one such very important system that is required by living organisms. Defects in any part of the cardiovascular system can cause different types of disease.

b.

Summary Introduction

To define: The term “colloid osmotic pressure” and explain its significance in relation to cardiovascular physiology.

Introduction: Cardiovascular is one of the most important systems in humans. Comprised of heart, blood, and blood vessels, this system is important for transport of oxygen and other nutrients to all the cells in the body.

c.

Summary Introduction

To define: The term “vasoconstriction” and explain its significance in relation to cardiovascular physiology.

Introduction: Cardiovascular system is important for transport of different nutrients through the body. blood carries oxygen and other nutrients to different cells in the body. changes or improper functioning of any part of cardiovascular system causes different health issues.

d.

Summary Introduction

To define: The term “angiogenesis” and explain its significance in relation to cardiovascular physiology.

Introduction:  Cardiovascular system comprises of solid functioning heart along with liquid connective tissue called blood. Hormones, oxygen and other important nutrients are transported to every cell of the body through the cardiovascular system.

e.

Summary Introduction

To define: The term “metarterioles” and explain its significance in relation to cardiovascular physiology.

Introduction: The cardiovascular system includes blood, blood vessels, and heart. the most important function of cardiovascular system is transportation of important gases such as oxygen and hormones along with nutrients throughout the body.

f.

Summary Introduction

To define: The term “pericytes” and explain its significance in relation to cardiovascular physiology.

Introduction:. Transportation of gases like oxygen and hormones is done by the cardiovascuklar system. The cardiovascular system is made up of the blood, blood vessels, and the heart. this system also collects waste material from all over the body and filters it in the kidneys.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
