Guided Learning: Oxygen Exchange and Balance

Guided learning questions provide a systematic approach to learning by using a sequencing of the questions similar to how a topic would unfold in a traditional textbook. The student is encouraged to go not only to the initial link associated with each tutorial question, but also to use embedded hyperlinks to expand upon the physiological concepts associated with the question.

At the end of the guided learning questions, there is a link to an external website (testmoz.com) that has multiple choice and true/false questions that are associated with the topic. When the quiz results are given to the user after taking the quiz, links are provided back to specific cvphysiology.com pages to assist learning. Users need to register (free) on the testmoz.com site to access the quiz questions for the tutorial. No personal information is available to cvphysiology.com apart from the user provided login name and analysis of user performance on the quiz questions. This feedback is used to improve cvphysiology.com content and quiz questions.

Guided Learning

1. How is oxygen transported by blood?
2. What determines the rate of oxygen diffusion from blood to tissue?
3. What determines the level of tissue oxygenation?
4. What is the myocardial oxygen supply/demand ratio, and what factors alter this ratio?
5. What determines oxygen supply (delivery) to an organ?
6. What determines oxygen extraction from the blood as it passes through an organ?
7. How is myocardial oxygen demand (consumption) determined in the heart using the Fick principle?
