Physiology3 listed topics
- Introduction to Respiratory SystemLearning objectivesRecognize the functional anatomy of various parts of respiratory systemHighlight the non-respiratory functions of respiratory tract Pulmonary MechanicsDistinguish functions of inspiratory and expiratory muscles during quiet and forceful respirationCorrelate normal lung volumes/ capacities to various pressures and volume changes during forceful respiration and changes in volume and capacities Pulmonary ComplianceDiscern lung and chest wall complianceIdentify composition & role of surfactant in alveolar surface tensionState concept of work of breathing Respiratory Membrane & Diffusion of GasesAppreciate the layers of respiratory membrane in detailAppraise concept of diffusing capacity through respiratory membraneIdentify factors affecting gas diffusion through respiratory membraneDiffusion of gases & Oxygen transportState the mechanics of oxygen diffusion from alveoli to bloodDistinguish mechanism of oxygen transport in the arterial blood, tissue fluid and cellOxygen transport & Dissociative curveIdentify the role of Hb in oxygen transportAnalyze normal oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve by explaining factors that shift oxygen- hemoglobin dissociation curve to right and leftCarbon dioxide transportIdentify various chemical form in which C02 is transported in bloodDiscern normal C02 dissociation curve explaining Bohr effect, Haldane effect and chloride shiftHypoxia and cynosisDifferentiate between hypoxia and cyanosisExplain types of hypoxia and cyanosisDescribe manifestations of hypoxia and cyanosis Nervous regulation of respirationState different group of neurons composing respiratory centerReview nervous control of inspiration and respiratory rhythmRecognize the regulatory mechanism of Hering Breuer inflation reflex Chemical regulation of respirationAppraise location, function and stimulation (by C02 and H+) of central chemosensitive areaIdentify the role of peripheral chemoreceptors
