Cardiovascular Physiology: Questions for Self Assessment (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This companion to An Introduction to Cardiovascular Physiology allows students to test themselves on all aspects of the topic with over 200 questions and answers at a pace suitable for learning. The book provides multiple-choice questions using a true/false format plus a small selection of alternative question styles. Topics include the cardiac cycle, the cardiac myocyte, haemodynamics, microcirculation and solute exchange, cardiovascular receptors, and cardiovascular responses in pathological situations. The book also discusses electrocardiography, arrhythmias, assessment of cardiac output, and peripheral pulse, flow, pressure, and resistance.
