Travis Meyer, Ph.D. Student
Candidate for Bioengineering Term Faculty Position
Date: Tuesday, July 2, 2019
Time: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
Location: Peterson Hall, Room 2000
Title: The Heart and the Cardiac Cycle
Abstract:
This seminar is part of a lecture that would normally be taught in an engineering systems physiology course. I will first briefly go over the structure and the anatomy of the heart, before discussing the mechanical events of the heart that lead to blood flow throughout the body. The talk will conclude with a brief description of cardiac output and the means by which the body regulates cardiac output to meet metabolic demands.
