Explore the intricate mechanisms of cardiovascular function, including cardiac output control, blood flow dynamics, and vascular regulation. Learn about essential concepts like Starling's Law, Poiseuille's Law, and the effects of sympathetic and parasympathetic activity on heart rate. Gain insight into the lymphatic system and its role in fluid balance.
