Description
A comprehensive textbook for students providing a concise but thorough explanation of conceptual and quantitative aspects of respiratory physiology. Directed firmly towards the student market this book especially covers: chest wall function and the importance of the abdomen as part of the chest wall, a more modern approach to the regulation of breathing, expanded discussion of the pulmonary circulation and adoption of the new and much clearer teaching of acid-base balance. Features: * The author is highly regarded in his field * Concise summaries at the start of each chapter - ideal for study/revision purposes * Self-assessment questions and problems at the end of each chapter * Easy-to-understand, student orientated style which uses contemporary terminology, abbreviations and symbology
