Cardiovascular System + Fluids

<p>This podcast covers the cardiovascular system and a bit of fluid mechanics. First, I cover cardiovascular anatomy. Then, I talk about the following topics regarding the heart: function, contraction, cell types in the heart, and its role in regulation of blood pressure. Lastly (44:00 min-1hr), I tie in a few fluid mechanics topics that are high yield on the MCAT and apply to the cardiovascular system, including: total peripheral resistance, viscosity, the continuity equation, and the Bernoulli equation.</p> <p>Please email me if you have any comments or concerns: MCATpodcast@medschoolcoach.com</p> <p>Thanks for listening!</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To learn more about how MedSchoolCoach can help you along your medical school journey, visit us at</span> <a href= "https://www.prospectivedoctor.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Prospective Doctor</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
