Fundamental Knowledge of Atmosphere
- Structure of the atmosphere (exosphere, ionosphere, stratosphere, troposphere)
- Approximate composition of dry air (Nitrogen, Oxygen, Other gases)
- Atmosphere contains varying amounts of water vapor.
- International Standard Atmosphere (Temperature profile, Pressure profile, Density)
- Gas laws (Boyle's Law, Charles' Law, General Gas equation, Dalton's Law of partial pressures)
- Oxygen and Nitrogen Pressure change with altitude.
The Circulation System
- Circulation schematic (CO2 rich air OUT, O2 rich air IN, Right/Left Atrium, Right/Left Ventricle, Heart, Body)
- The Heart (Oxygenated blood to body, Contaminated blood to lungs, Oxygenated blood from lungs, Contaminated blood to lungs)
- Lungs (Bronchi, Bronchial Tree, Lungs)
- O2 Transportation (Alveolus, Capillary, Oxygenated Blood, De-Oxygenated Blood, Haemoglobin)
