Control of breathing
Central control of breathing: explain the central organisation of breathing, and recall the principle inputs and outputs, including sensitivity to carbon dioxide and hypoxia
Sleep: explain the effect of sleep on breathing and blood gases; explain the apnoeic threshold and how this may lead to central sleep apnoea; explain the influences of sleep on the upper airway and how this may lead to obstructive sleep apnoea; explain how cardiorespiratory disease may be exacerbated by changes in breathing

Respiratory mechanics
Compliance: define compliance and elastance and explain the relationship between them
Surfactant: explain the role of surfactant in ventilation and lung structure
Resistance: explain the concept of airway resistance in the lung, and explain it effects, and is affected by, changes in pulmonary function
Mechanics: explain the mechanical relationship between the chest wall, pleural membranes and the lung; distinguish the mechanical forces involved in tidal and maximal ventilation, and fluid- and
