Medical Respiration Menu courtesey of Dr. HN Mayrovitz


Medical Respiratory Physiology Link

The above link leads to a PDF version of a text that was last provided to students in 2021.
The course material has substantially changed since then but some students feel that
the material in this document can be helpful and there have been many requests to
make it available.

To honor these requests I have decided to make it available with the very important
provio and caution that it contains some material not presented in any current course by Dr. Mayrovitz.
Further, it is important to recognize that any current lecture material supercedes anything that may be different in this document.

The document contains textual material that is linked to many of the figures. The document also contains many "one liner" questions
designed to foster thinking about main topics and has many multiple choice questions designed to give a flavor and practice for many respiratory concepts.
However, the document contains no answers to any of these questions so if that is frustrating to you be forwarned.
