    • List the major factors affecting blood flow, blood pressure, and resistance.
    • Describe how blood flow, blood pressure, and resistance interrelate.
    • Discuss how the neural and endocrine mechanisms maintain homeostasis within the blood vessels
    • Describe the interaction of the cardiovascular system with other body systems.
    • Label the major blood vessels of the pulmonary and systemic circulations.
    • Identify and describe the hepatic p.ortal system.
    • Describe the development of blood vessels and fetal circulation.
