Learning Objectives
Blueprint ID	Learning Objectives
6384	Outline the process steps leading from hydrolysis of protein in tissues (muscle, for ex.) and release of free amino acids in muscle, to production of ammonia and aspartate in the liver for urea synthesis.
6386	Describe the steps involved for preparing amino acid nitrogen for delivery to the urea cycle.
6388	Outline the operation of the urea cycle and describe its regulation.
11474	Describe the concepts of "Nitrogen Balance" and "essential amino acids", and identify which amino acids are considered "essential" in the diet.
11475	Describe how the pool of free amino acids is maintained to support protein synthesis, energy requirements, and other essential biosynthetic processes requiring amino acids.
11477	List the main nitrogenous wastes eliminated from the body and describe the processes resulting in the generation of free ammonia.
