Question
- State and recognize the three basic nutritional needs an organism’s diet must satisfy.
- List the basic stages of nutrition.
- Predict how perturbations in the hormones leptin and ghrelin influence appetite.
- Use the concept of pressure to describe the movement of water and nutrients in plant xylem and phloem and blood in vertebrates.
- Trace the flow of a drop of blood through the four chambers of the heart, the great vessels, lungs, and the blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries) in the systemic circulation in healthy people and people with various malformations of the heart or great vessels.
- Distinguish between systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
- Predict how perturbations in body posture or baroreceptors would affect homeostatic control of blood pressure.
