This text explains how the respiratory system functions and provides a framework for understanding many respiratory diseases. It was developed as a working text with problem-solving exercises for students. The book covers pulmonary anatomy and microstructure, mechanics, gas exchange, acid-base balance, and control mechanisms. It aims to strike a balance between the principles of pulmonary gas exchange, neural control, and integrative aspects of respiration.
