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.
Chapter 1: Structure and functionuhow the architecture of the lung subserves its function; Chapter 2: Ventilationuhow gas gets to the alveoli; Chapter 3: Diffusionuhow gas gets across the blood-gas barrier; Chapter 4: Blood flow and metabolismuhow the pulmonary circulation removes gas from the lung and alters some metabolites; Chapter 5: Ventilation-perfusion relationshipsuhow matching of gas and blood determines gas exchange; Chapter 6: Gas transport by the blooduhow gases are moved to the peripheral tissues; Chapter 7: Mechanics of breathinguhow the lung is supported and moved; Chapter 8: Control of ventilationuhow gas exchange is regulated; Chapter 9: Respiratory system under stressuhow gas exchange is accomplished during exercise, at low and high pressures, and at birth; Chapter 10: Tests of pulmonary functionuhow respiratory physiology is applied to measure lung function
