This course covers the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system, including topics such as the mechanism of breathing, measurements of ventilation, neural control of ventilation, gas exchange, and respiratory disorders like COPD, asthma, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and cystic fibrosis. Students will learn about lung volumes, gas exchange processes, pulmonary hypertension, and the impact of respiratory pump on venous return. The teaching method includes animations to explain complex concepts. This course is intended for individuals interested in understanding the respiratory system and common respiratory diseases.
