Description:

This course is designed for students who have gained admission in the Respiratory Therapy Program. It is one of two respiratory courses offered in the first semester. The student will utilize the principles and methods of scientific inquiry in exploring the structure and function of the respiratory system. The theory and application of sciences basic to respiratory therapy, as well as major concepts and mechanisms associated with respiratory physiology, will be mastered. Students will use critical thinking and problemsolving skills in analyzing anatomic and physiologic principles applied to common clinical situations. Students will use appropriate mathematical concepts and operations to interpret data applied to static and dynamic characteristics of the lungs and vascular systems, oxygen and carbon dioxide transport, acid-base balance, ventilation-perfusion relationships, as well as regulation and control of respiration. (Prerequisite: Admission to the program; Corequisites: RESP 162, BIOL 111 and COMP 129)
