Abstract
In this chapter, we illustrate how three important topics included in every introductory course can be taught using the new paradigm. The three topics are (1) short-term regulation of blood pressure, (2) generating a tidal volume, and (3) the hypothalamic-anterior pituitary axis.
For each of these topics, we will (1) describe the context within the course of this topic, (2) describe the content of this topic, (3) define the learning objectives or learning outcomes, (4) discuss how one can assess student understanding of the material, and (5) discuss how to help students master this topic.
