Lesson Plans

Chapter3: The Respiratory System

Goals of the Lesson:

Cognitive: The student will learn how pathology of the respiratory system affects radiographic images.

The student will be able to accurately explain the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system.

Motor: The student will determine how to accurately change the technical factors that will demonstrate different pathology.

Affective: The student will analyze the image and determine what common pathologic process is represented.

Student Learning Outcomes:

Upon completion of this chapter, the student will be able to…

a. Successfully define basic terms regarding pathology of the respiratory system in either a written or an oral examination

b. Successfully determine how disease affects the body’s structure and function and therefore the technical factors that are used

c. Successfully analyze radiographic images of the respiratory system and determine what common pathologic process is representedand suggest the possible other imaging modalities that might be used to demonstrate that process

Learning Objectives:

The lesson section for each objective starts on the page shown below.
