Prevalence of Students’ Misconceptions in Cardiovascular Physiology, and the Role of Taking Physiology Courses

Introduction: The cases of misconceptions are intellectual models of phenomena that are different from accepted scientific models of the same phenomena. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of cardiovascular misconceptions among students, and evaluate the role of cardiovascular physiology courses in eliminating them. Methods: This descriptive study was performed on 348 u...

Cardiovascular Physiology

The cardiovascular system consists of the heart and two vascular systems, the systemic and pulmonary circulations. The heart pumps blood through two vascular systems the low pressure pulmonary circulation in which gas exchange occurs, and then the systemic circulation, which delivers blood to individual organs, matching supply to metabolic demand. Blood pressure and flow is largely controlled b...

Bilirubin metabolism: Applied physiology

ont matter & 2005 2005.10.002 thor. Tel.: +1 718 . howdhur@aecom. Summary Bilirubin is the breakdown product of the haem moiety of haemoglobin and other haemoproteins. Because of internal hydrogen bonding, bilirubin is water-insoluble and requires enzyme-mediated glucuronidation in the liver for biliary excretion. In normal circumstances, plasma bilirubin is mostly unconjugated and is tightly b...
