These instructional objectives provide you with a guide for learning the course material. During the examination you should be able to:

Chapter 7

1. Define system, system boundaries, open system, closed system, homeostasis, steady state, half-life, internal and external respiration, alveolus, bronchi, trachea, spirometer, tidal volume.
2. Determine the appropriate system boundaries for a system.
3. Derive the mass balance equation for a system.
4. Solve problems using a mass balance.
5. Calculate the concentration of a molecule given its half-life and vice versa.
6. Calculate the partial pressure of a gas.
7. Calculate the concentration of a gas dissolved in a liquid.
8. Calculate diffusive transport through a membrane.
9. Use Fick’s law to calculate flux.

Chapter 8

1. Use Newton’s law of viscosity to calculate shear stress, viscosity, or the shear rate $$dv/dx$$.
2. Use the Hagen-Poiseuille equation to calculate volumetric flow rate, pressure drop, or resistance of a vessel.
3. Calculate the resistances of vessels in series and parallel.
4. Use the equation $$\Delta P = QR$$ to calculate pressure drop, volumetric flow rate, or vessel resistance.
5. Calculate the hydrostatic pressure of a system.
6. Calculate the Reynolds number of a system.
7. Calculate the flux across the wall of a blood vessel.
