Co-requisites: AHS 101, AHS 131, AHS 311 and CHE 131. An examination of cardiopulmonary anatomy from the perspective of the respiratory therapist. The course begins with an overview of the chemical basis of structure, then concentrates on the structure and function of the cardiopulmonary system. Topics of study include cellular structure of the lung, structure of the conducting and respiratory areas of the lung, and functional anatomy of the cardiovascular system. (3 lecture hours) SUNY GEN ED-n/a; NCC GEN ED-n/a

Prerequisites: AHS 101, AHS 111, AHS 131, AHS 311 and CHE 131. Co-requisites: AHS 103, AHS 132, AHS 312 and CHE 132. An examination of the physiology of the cardiopulmonary system from the perspective of the respiratory therapist. Although the course concentrates primarily on the function of the pulmonary system, detailed attention is also given to the functional relationship between the cardiac and pulmonary systems. Topics of study include oxygen and carbon dioxide transport, blood acidbase balance, cellular respiration, pulmonary and systemic circulation, and functional changes to the cardiopulmonary systems caused by other organ systems. (3 lecture hours) SUNY GEN ED-n/a; NCC GEN ED-n/a

2.00 Credits
Prerequisites: AHS 313. Co-requisites: AHS 314 and AHS 413. A study of pulmonary pathology from the perspective of the respiratory therapist. The course covers diseases of the pulmonary system concentrating on such topics as restrictive and obstructive diseases. The student learns disease etiology, epidemiology, physiologic abnormalities, clinical features, and the treatment of each disease. Examples of diseases covered include emphysema, asthma, carcinoma, pneumonia, bronchitis, and edema. (2 lecture hours) SUNY GEN ED-n/a; NCC GEN ED-n/a

Prerequisites: AHS 113, AHS 314 and AHS 413. Co-requisites: AHS 214 and AHS 414. A study of cardiovascular pathology and pathology of related organ systems from the perspective of the respiratory therapist. The course covers diseases of the cardiovascular system but also includes diseases of other related organ systems such as the digestive, nervous, intestinal, endocrine, and renal systems. The student learns disease etiology, epidemiology, physiologic abnormalities, clinical features, and the treatment of each disease. Examples of diseases covered include stroke, encephalopathy, trauma, heart diseases, liver diseases, diabetes, and renal diseases. (2 lecture hours) SUNY GEN ED-n/a; NCC GEN ED-n/a
