Respiratory System

After your first exam, we are now moving on to the Respiratory System. The next exam will only have three chapters on it (instead of 4 as this one did). Keep up on your reading and use these stories to link what we study in class with what we see in everyday life!

I hope everyone is keeping up with their reading - A&P is so jam-packed with information, you have to keep pace on your own with what is covered in class! Have a great weekend!
