Respiratory Physiology (Raven Press Series in Physiology)

This book is especially tailored to help students taking a course in medical physiology gain a working knowledge of respiratory physiology. This edition has problems at the end of each chapter which require students to use all knowledge learned in the chapter, plus answers to the problems that not only identify the correct numerical result or alternative choice, but also the logical sequence used in arriving at the answer. In addition, this edition contains completely redrawn illustrations - most enlarged together with enhanced coverage of respiratory dead space and new details on control of breathing. The text is aimed at medical and allied health students, physiologists and pulmonologists.
