Cardiovascular physiology

Overview of the circulation, blood, and hemostasis

Excitation: the cardiac action potential

Automaticity: natural excitation of the heart

The cardiac pump

Regulation of the heartbeat

Hemodynamics

The arterial system

The microcirculation and lymphatics

The peripheral circulation and its control

Control of cardiac output: coupling of heart and blood vessels

Coronary circulation

Special circulations

Interplay of central and peripheral factors that control the circulation.
