Functional Anatomy of The Respiratory System, Ventilation Mechanics, & Lung Volumes & Capacities

Welcome to the course on the functional anatomy of the respiratory system and ventilation mechanics, where we will delve into the intricate structures and functions that enable respiration. In this lecture, we will explore the mechanics of ventilation, examining how air is moved in and out of the lungs, and discuss the various lung volumes and capacities that are critical for assessing respiratory health and function. This foundational knowledge is essential for understanding normal respiratory physiology as well as the pathophysiology of respiratory diseases.
