Today I take a look at 'Functional Anatomy'. There are 6 learning objectives and this is a jam packed podcast. I first look at upper airway anatomy with a big focus on the larynx (01:11) and then look at lower airway anatomy and breakdown 'Weibels Zones' and alveoli structure (16:47). Then I discuss important respiratory reflexes and how anaesthetics agents can affect these reflexes using the reflex arc (22:51). Then I change pace and talk about humidity and the importance of humidification (33:05) and look at the last LO the non-ventilatory functions of the lung (41:21). Finally, I have a look at some of the past SAQs from previous ANZCA and ICU exams (47:34) and then summarise the main points (63:51). Next episode we will go through 'Gas Transport in Blood.' Thanks for listening! Happy New Year and as always if you have any feedback let me know!
