Physiological anatomy of respiratory system  Respiration: definition, mechanism.

 Pulmonary & Alveolar ventilation.  Pulmonary volumes and capacities (spirometry)  Dead space: definition & types  Pulmonary circulation- pressure in pulmonary system effect of hydrostatic pressure in lungs, pulmonary capillary dynamics.

 Composition of atmospheric, alveolar, inspired and expired air.  Respiratory unit and respiratory membrane.  Diffusion of Gases through the respiratory membrane.

 Transport of Oxygen & Carbon dioxide in blood & body fluid. Oxy-hemoglobin dissociation curve. Bohr effect, Haldane effect & chloride shift mechanism.

 Respiratory centers: name, location & functions.  Nervous & chemical regulation of respiration.  Lung function tests: name, significance

 Ventilation -perfusion ratio.  Regulation of respiration during exercise.  Hypoxia: definition, types

 Cyanosis: definition & types. Additional/Applied Physiology  Oxygen therapy in hypoxia

 Definition of dyspnea, hypercapnea & periodic breathing
