CORRESPONDENCE COURSE OF
THE U.S. ARMY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT CENTER AND SCHOOL
SUBCOURSE MD0806 EDITION 200

INTRODUCTION

U.S. ARMY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT CENTER AND SCHOOL

Drugs that act upon the respiratory system, cardiovascular system, or urinary system are frequently dispensed in both military and civilian pharmacies. This is because conditions that affect these systems (that is, hypertension affecting the cardiovascular system) affect many people. Consequently, it is imperative that you have an understanding of these systems and the drugs that act on them.

As with MD0804 (Therapeutics I) and MD0805 (Therapeutics II), anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology are presented in a combined perspective. This is done to help you to understand and remember the actions, uses, side effects, and patient warnings associated with the drugs included in these lessons.

You should remember that this subcourse is not intended to replace accepted references in anatomy, physiology, or pharmacology. Instead, it is designed to help you gain a background in these areas so that you may continue learning in a self-directed manner. You are encouraged to read pertinent journals, study pharmacology texts, and talk to fellow health-care professionals in order to learn more about the topics presented in this subcourse.

Subcourse Components:

This subcourse consists of 10 lessons as follows:

Lesson 1. The Respiratory System and Respiratory System Drugs.

Lesson 2. The Human Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems.

Lesson 3. Cardiac Drugs.

Lesson 4. Vasodilator Drugs.

Lesson 5. Drugs Acting on the Hematopoietic System.

Lesson 6. The Human Urogenital Systems.

Lesson 7. Antihypertensive Drugs.

Lesson 8. Diuretic and Antidiuretic Agents.

Lesson 9. Toxicology and Poison Control.

–Complete the subcourse lesson by lesson. After completing each lesson, work the exercises at the end of the lesson

–After completing each set of lesson exercises, compare your answers with those on the solution sheet that follows the exercises. If you have answered an exercise incorrectly, check the reference cited after the answer on the solution sheet to determine why your response was not the correct one.
