The Molecular Physiology of the Cardiovascular System training program is a multi-disciplinary training program for pre- and postdoctoral trainees. The goal of our program is to train students and ...

This is the first article in a new series on the anatomy and physiology of ageing. The series explores normal age-related changes that occur in the anatomy and physiology of the major organ systems ...

How does the heart work? What does it do? What is it composed of? How do you examine it? This article offers cardiac anatomy and physiology in a nutshell. The heart is a complex organ that pumps blood ...

Researchers in the Cardiovascular Physiology Laboratory aim to understand how the central autonomic nervous system regulates cardiovascular function and body fluid and sodium homeostasis. The focus of ...

With aging there are changes in the cardiovascular system, which result in alterations in cardiovascular physiology. The changes in cardiovascular physiology must be differentiated from the effects of ...

Your heart is an amazing organ. It continuously pumps oxygen and nutrient-rich blood throughout your body to sustain life. This fist-sized powerhouse beats (expands and contracts) 100,000 times per ...

The major effects of aging on the cardiovascular system are the decreased compliance of the arterial system, a dropout of myocytes and atrial pacemaker cells, and increasing fibrosis of the cardiac ...
