REST 3501. Anatomy and
Physiology of Sleep (3) Introduction to the anatomy
and physiology of the neurologic, cardiac, and
respiratory systems during sleep. Basic anatomy and
physiology of wake-sleep cycles are studied, with
emphasis on changes that occur during varying stages
of sleep and during common sleep disorders.
Introduction to the EEG, EOG, EKG, EMG, and other
polysomnography data recorders. Prerequisites:
medical terminology, anatomy, and physiology or

taking REST 3501 are required to write a 6-10 page
paper outlining physiologic components affecting
quality of sleep. Students taking REST 2501 cannot
take REST 3501 for credit. Prerequisites: medical
terminology, anatomy, and physiology or completion
of respiratory therapy program or C.R.T., R.R.T., or

Justification:
This course is an enhancement for respiratory
therapists and requisite for an AAS degree in
polysomnography.
