Cardiovascular/Pulmonary: Case 2

Objectives - Case 2 - Daimler

• List the atomic lung volumes and common capacities
• Describe the measurement of pulmonary diffusing capacity
• List the subcellular structures traversed by a molecule of oxygen from the alveolar space to within a RBC, bound to hemoglobin
• Use and apply the alveolar gas equation in various scenarios
• Use the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve to relate oxygen tension to oxygen saturation, and list the factors that alter the shape of that curve 
• Describe essential elements for ethical human research to be conducted.
• Describe the relationship between lung volume and airflow and explain the mechanisms that limit airflow during forced expiration.
