Concept of Oxygenation

In this lesson, we are going to take a look at the different ways the respiratory system helps provide oxygenation to the rest of the body.  We will review some important terminology and then go over some causes and risk factors for developing a disorder of the respiratory system that causes low oxygenation.

Learning Objectives:

Upon the completion of this lesson, learners will be able to:

1. Explain ventilation
2. Understand the transport of oxygen through the body
3. Describe perfusion
4. Determine causes and risk factors for developing low oxygenation
