AB Learning  ObjectivesThe  student  will  be  able  to  describe  the  general  process  of  oxygen  transport  and  identify  steps  in  this  cascade  that  depend  upon  the  lung  to  be  achieved.The  student  will  be  able  to  translate  key  words  and  phrases  of  pulmonary  medicine  into  their  internationally  recognized  abbreviations  and  acronyms.The  student  will  be  able  to  calculate  the  partial  pressures  of  constituent  gases  in  normal  dry  air  using  Dalton's  law  and  explain  the  effects  of  altitude  upon  them.The  student  will  be  able  to  use  Boyle's  law  and  Charles's  law  to  convert  gas  volumes  between  standard  conditions  [Standard  Temperature  and  Pressure,  Dry  (STPD)]  and  ambient  conditions  [Body  Temperature  and  Pressure,  Saturated  (BTPS)].The  student  will  be  able  to  compute  the  content  of  gases  equilibrated  with  aqueous  media  using  Henry's  law  and  their  established  solubility  coefficients.
