This document lists 20 topics related to respiratory physiology that will be covered in a BSc laboratory course. The topics range from mechanisms of pulmonary ventilation and compliance to respiratory diseases, hypoxia, hypercapnia, and respiratory therapy. All topics will draw from chapters 37-44 of Guyton and Msoka's textbook.
