4.00 Credits
Course is designed to provide students with information about the structure and function of the respiratory system. Knowledge of a structure is essential to the understanding of the function of the structures, therefore topics include: respiratory and cardiac anatomy and progress to major concepts and mechanisms of cardiopulmonary physiology.
-
3.00 Credits
Course is designed to provide students with additional information about the function of the respiratory system. The student will gain knowledge and interpretation skills regarding the function of gas exchange in the lungs as well as how normal values change in different disease states. Included will be a comprehensive overview of the subject matter in an organized, interesting manner in the form of lecture, small group discussion, or student presentations. Prerequisite(s): Prerequisite: RC 160.
-
3.00 Credits
Course is designed to provide students with advanced information about disease processes.
