This compact, concise, easy-to-read monograph explains the key concepts and equations in respiratory physiology. The Seventh Edition updates and revises material to reflect current advances in respiratory science but does not stray from the proven formula students and faculty have enjoyed since 1974.
New updates include physiology of pulmonary capillaries, hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, pulmonary edema, surface tension, elastic properties of the lung and chest wall, metabolic functions of the lung, and perinatal respiration. Ample illustrations and pedagogical features help clarify important equations and concepts. USMLE-style review questions at the end of each chapter help students review for class or boards.
Opis
Ventilation—how gas gets to the alveoli
Diffusion—how gas gets across the blood-gas barrier
Blood flow and metabolism—how the pulmonary circulation removes gas from the lung and alters some metabolites
Ventilation-perfusion relationships—how matching of gas and blood determines gas exchange
Gas transport by the blood—how gases are moved to the peripheral tissues
Mechanics of breathing—how the lung is supported and moved
Control of ventilation—how gas exchange is regulated
Respiratory system under stress—how gas exchange is accomplished during exercise, at low and high pressures, and at birth
Tests of pulmonary function—how respiratory physiology is applied to measure lung function
