- MD05.01 Development of the respiratory systemUnderstand embryologic development of the respiratory system, including lung buds, branching morphogenesis, and surfactant production, to explain congenital anomalies and neonatal respiratory disorders.1
- MD05.02 Anatomy of the respiratoy systemIdentify gross and microscopic anatomy of the upper and lower respiratory tract, lungs, pleura, and respiratory muscles, correlating structural features with airflow, gas exchange, and clinical relevance.0
- MD05.03 Physiology of the respiratory systemAnalyze obstructive, restrictive, infectious, vascular, and neoplastic lung diseases, linking pathophysiologic mechanisms to clinical presentation, imaging findings, pulmonary function tests, and disease progression.0
- MD05.04 Pathology of the respiratory systemAnalyze obstructive, restrictive, infectious, vascular, and neoplastic lung diseases, linking pathophysiologic mechanisms to clinical presentation, imaging findings, pulmonary function tests, and disease progression.0
- MD05.05 Pharmacology of the respiratory systemDescribe drugs used in respiratory disorders, including bronchodilators, corticosteroids, leukotriene modifiers, and antimicrobials, emphasizing mechanisms, indications, adverse effects, and clinical applications.0
- MD05.06 Clinicla examination of the respiratory systemDescribe drugs used in respiratory disorders, including bronchodilators, corticosteroids, leukotriene modifiers, and antimicrobials, emphasizing mechanisms, indications, adverse effects, and clinical applications.0
