| Description | A case study designed for undergraduate biology majors enrolled in a two semester A&P course on an aspect of respiratory physiology. The case study on Obstructive Sleep Apnea is intended to stimulate critical thinking on the part of the students and to assist students in understanding the role of the chemoreceptors and their influence on the respiratory center in the medulla oblongata. | |||

This study is a good example of using problem-based learning to reinforce the principles of respiratory physiology. It uses a medical concern that is regularly mentioned in over-the-counter treatment advertisements. Many students have likely heard of sleep apnea so the case study can be used to add relevancy to the A&P curriculum.

Good case on sleep apnea. Wish the title was more descriptive so I didn't have to open it to see what it was about.
