A one- to two-page ( 500 minimum word) paper
Step 1 Explain three difficult concepts.
As you review the activities and the information presented in this lesson and the textbook, identify the three most difficult concepts (or parts of a concept) in respiratory anatomy and respiration for most anatomy and physiology students. Select one difficult concept from each of these topic areas:
• Anatomy of the Respiratory System
• Mechanics of Breathing
• Respiration
Step 2 Write an explanation of each concept.
Write a clear one-paragraph explanation of each of these three concepts. Use images from the Internet or those that you scan into the document, if possible. Limit your response to a one- to two-page (500 minimum word) paper.
