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.

P You are studying a population of 100 flowers that has two alleles at a locus for flower color, blue (B) and green (G). There are 15 individuals with the BB genotype, 70 individuals with the BG genotype, and 15 individuals with the GG genotype. (a) What are the allele frequencies of B and G in the starting population? Show your calculations. (2 pts) (b) Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Show your calculations. (3 pts) 12pt v Paragraph BIU UA AV & VT2V f CO V
In a natural population of outbreeding plants, the variance of the total number of seeds per plant is 16. From the natural population, 20 plants are taken into the laboratory and developed into separate true-breeding lines by self- fertilization-with selection for high, low, or medium number of seeds-for 10 generations. The average variance in the tenth generation in each of the 20 sets is about equal and averages 5.8 across all the sets. Estimate the broad-sense heritability for seed number in this population.
