the importance of the closed double circulatory system
To include reference to blood pressure in systemic and pulmonary systems.
(i) the structure and functions of arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins
(ii) transverse sections of arteries, veins and capillaries as observed using a light microscope
Prepared slides or photomicrographs may be examined to show the structural differences between these vessels.
the formation and importance of tissue fluid
To include references to HP (hydrostatic pressure) and OP (oncotic pressure or colloidal osmotic pressure).
(i) the use of a sphygmomanometer to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure
To include reference to both manual and electronic measuring.
(ii) comparisons of blood pressure readings
the interpretation of systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements
To include hypertension and hypotension and their possible consequences.
