Adv. Respiration Physiology 2

3 Credits

Covers a quantitative understanding of hypoxia, hypo- and hyper-baric atmospheric pressures, physical properties of breathing (lung and chest wall compliances, airway turbulence), and central nervous system mechanisms controlling respiration (arterial and medullary chemoreflexes, cardiopulmonary receptors, vasomotor and heart rate responses to changing blood gases).
