Learning Outcomes
After completing CRSS 454, students will be able to:
- Describe the time course of changes in the components that make up the baroreceptor reflex as a consequence of short term changes in blood pressure.
- Critically evaluate a scientific study to present the key findings and how they apply to the mechanisms of short term and long term control of the circulation.
- Identify a gap in knowledge regarding a lifestyle intervention that could potentially impact on blood pressure chronically in order to design a novel study to test a hypothesis.
- Explain the mechanistic basis and the time-course of alterations within the cardiovascular system (e.g. BP, heart rate, etc.) produced during and after a therapeutic intervention.
