This unit will simulate the expectations of a college-level course.
The only graded assignments will be 1 lab on ECG, 1 Practical Lab on Taking Blood Pressure, 1 Cardio Case Study, 1 Practical Assessment (ID--Heart, Arteries, Veins, Nodal, ECG) and 1 Unit Test (Physiology of heart, arteries, veins, blood pressure, nodal system). Everything assigned is for practice only--keys will be provided in class to check your work, but students will need to look at the unit learning targets, and lectures to guide their studying. The calendar is updated with recommended reading and assignments.

On the test:
Label all arteries and veins.
Label all chambers and valves of heart.
Explain the flow of blood through the body using heart, lungs, arteries and veins; including oxygenated/de-oxygenated blood.
How are arteries and veins different?
What is the nodal system? What are the different parts and how does each signal trigger the contraction of the heart?
How do ions use passive and active transport to polarize and depolarize the signal?
What is the overall structure of an ECG?
How can an ECG be used to determine when the heart should be contracting?
What is blood pressure? What is the difference between systolic and diastolic? What factors increase or decrease blood pressure and how does our body try to regulate it?
