MedBasics Lungs

Did you know that the surface area of your lungs is about equal to that of a tennis court? Or that just like the atoms in your body date you back to the beginning of time, that you can find molecules of air in your lungs that belong to your first breadth? The lungs are fascinating organs not only for their biology, but also their chemistry and engineering. Amongst the largest organs in the body they are a wonder of fractal geometry.

The joy of 3D :

In a normal anatomy textbook the lungs are lifeless, weirdly shaped, tree-branchy looking things. Reading about lung conditions and diseases like cancer is at best like eating crackers on their own and at worst like staring down the business end of an ashtray. Enter MedTrainer (cue choral halo music). Our 3D animation turns medical education into a fun episode of Nat Geo. What’s more … learning is easier! The lungs secrets are not easy to decipher unless you can get into its geometry. Macroscopic, organ level, bronchial, capillary and alveoli views help to appreciate the complex anatomy and functioning of the lungs.

Course Length: 17 min of high quality 3D animation.
Time to complete: 45 min for the novice user (not including assessment)

Topics covered:

• Locate the lungs and identify lung anatomy
• Identifying the lobes and sections of the lung
• Understand how air exchange works in the lung
• Overview of the most common diseases and conditions that affect the lungs

Test yourself:
Assessing yourself on concepts becomes superfun in a 3D graphics environment. With drag-and-drop answers, hotspot identification diagrams and fun sound effects, you’ll almost feel like you’re learning on a PS3; well almost.
