Learning Outcomes:

On successful completion of this module students should be able to:
- Describe the structure of the healthy human respiratory system and illustrate the microscopic structure of the conducting airways and gas-exchanging regions of the lungs.
- Describe the basic anatomical, biochemical and physiological principles underlying normal respiratory system function.
- Give an account of how disease processes disturb the normal function of the respiratory system and describe how such disturbances can be detected and used to diagnose the underlying disease.
- Interpret pulmonary function test data. Identify abnormal respiratory parameters. Link abnormal test values to categories of respiratory disorders.
- Use portable ultrasound imaging to identify normal anatomy of the lung and pleura and recognise features of underlying lung pathology.
