This concise and easily comprehensible monograph presents the essential concepts and equations in respiratory physiology. The Seventh Edition has been updated and revised to incorporate the latest advances in the field of respiratory science while maintaining the effective framework that both students and faculty have appreciated since its inception in 1974.
Among the new updates, the text delves into the physiology of pulmonary capillaries, the mechanisms of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, the implications of pulmonary edema, and the roles of surface tension along with the elastic characteristics of the lung and chest wall. Additionally, it explores the metabolic functions of the lungs and the complexities surrounding perinatal respiration.
To enhance comprehension, the monograph is enriched with numerous illustrations and pedagogical features that elucidate vital equations and concepts. Furthermore, each chapter concludes with USMLE-style review questions, providing students with a valuable tool for reviewing material, whether for class assessments or board examinations.
