Medical Terminology · Module 9 · The respiratory system

Respiratory System Lab

Change the breathing rate, depth, oxygen and a lung condition and watch the terms, blood gases, percussion note and breath sounds respond; practice building and decoding respiratory terms; race the clock matching terms to meanings; and read real-life chart situations. Nothing here is graded.

Teaching modelA simplified adult at rest. Carbon dioxide follows alveolar ventilation (rate times tidal volume minus about 150 mL of dead space); oxygen follows the alveolar gas equation with a gap that each condition widens. Real patients are more complex. For learning terms only.
