The Respiratory System. Instructional Materials in Anatomy and Physiology for Pennsylvania Health Occupations Programs.

This instructional modular unit with instructor's guide provides materials on aspects of one of the major systems of the human body--the respiratory system. Its purpose is to introduce the student to the structures and functions of the human respiratory system--and the interrelationships of the two--and to famlliarize the student with some of the terms and concepts necessary for an understanding of the respiratory system. The modular unit is made up of several components: a pretest; four instructional modules with objectives, informative materials, and corresponding post-tests; optional activities for the students; and a glossary of terms used in the unit. Topics covered in the modules include an introduction to the respiratory system, upper respiratory tract, the lungs, and respiration. The instructor's guide provides suggestions for effective use of the materials, including descriptions of each component, use of the components, scoring the post-tests and answers to the post-tests. Three additional modules on the circulatory, musculoskeletal system, and digestive systems are available separately (see Note). (YLB)
