Explore the vital role of ventilation and gas exchange with this free application on the Physiology of the Respiratory System – LITE Version (ENGLISH ONLY).

A.D.A.M. Inc. provides fully animated, fully narrated, interactive eLearning programs relevant to healthcare and life sciences. This program begins with an overview of ventilation, followed by an explanation of the factors that influence the flow of air in and out of the lungs. You will then learn about gas exchange and about factors that influence gas diffusion. This program will take you approximately 25 minutes to complete. Progress checks and a posttest are provided to help you evaluate your knowledge. At the end of this learning program you will be able to demonstrate your knowledge of respiratory system physiology using the appropriate language.

Upon completion of this program, you will be able to:

•Describe the processes of pulmonary ventilation
•Explain the factors affecting the flow of air through the respiratory system
•Explain how gases are exchanged with the blood and tissues


Program Features:

•Fully-narrated and animated learning
