I. Introduction to the Respiratory System (p. 88)
Your introduction to the respiratory system includes a case study where you meet Amanda, who has a dark spot on her arm and a previous skin cancer diagnosis. Later in the lesson, we return to the case study and use the terms introduced to complete a medical record documenting her biopsy results.
