Module -2

Cardiovascular System: Composition of the blood, functions of blood elements. Blood group and coagulation of blood. Brief information regarding disorders of the blood. Heart: myocardium–innervations– transmission of cardiac impulse- Events during the cardiac cycle–cardiac output. Structure and functions of various parts of the heart.

 Module-3

Circulation: General principles, Peripheral circulation: peripheral resistances–arterial blood pressure–measurements–factors, Regulation variations–capillary circulation–venous circulation. Special circulation: coronary cerebral–miscellaneous, Arterial and venous system with special reference to the names and positions of main arteries and veins. Brief information about cardiovascular disorders.

Module -4

Respiratory system: Various parts of the respiratory system and their functions, physiology of respiration. Mechanics of respiration–pulmonary function tests–transport of respiratory gases-neural and chemical regulation of respiration–hypoxia, cyanosis, dyspnoea–asphyxia.
