AHL 702 - Neuromuscular Systems and Polysomnography 3.2 Continuing Education Units (CEU). This course is not for Credit(s).
This course is designed to enable the student to learn the skills necessary to become a polysomnographic technician and to learn neuromuscular anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology as they relate to sleep disorders. Topics to be covered include an introduction to the EEG, EMG and EOG . Prerequisite: Must successfully complete all courses in module I and II in the Sleep Technology Program.
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:
- identify anatomical structures of the nervous muscular systems,
- explain the physiology for the structures identified in the nervous and muscular systems,
- explain how the nervous and muscular systems interact in relation to sleep and sleep disorders,
- define the basic components of electricity and conduction of electricity,
- explain how the electrical impulses relate to the functioning of the nervous and muscular systems,
- explain how electrical impulses are depicted during sleep studies, and
- develop the ability to successfully read electrical graphing of nervous and muscular system activity during a sleep study.
