| Blueprint ID | Learning Objectives |
| 7828 | Describe the characteristics of the pulmonary and systemic vasculatures and understand how they are connected. Describe the flow balance and pressure differences between the two systems. |
| 7829 | Describe the differences in the flow velocities, pressure drops in the systemic vasculature and the factors influencing these characteristics. |
| 7830 | Describe how elastic, muscular arteries, terminal arterioles, capillaries and veins differ structurally and are adapted to perform specific functions in the systemic vasculature. |
| 7831 | Describe the components governing vascular resistance to blood flow (Poiseuille’s Law) and how these factors alter under physiological and pathological conditions. |
| 7832 | Describe the influence of vessel wall to lumen cross-sectional area on vascular reactivity and function. |
| 7833 | Describe the factors governing laminar vs. turbulent blood flow within the systemic vasculature and the influence of turbulent blood flow on vascular pathology. |
| 7834 | Describe the implications of the LaPlace’s Law on vessel stress, function and pathology as well as its effects on heart function. |
