Description

This superior single-source reference provides in-depth, up-to-date information on the cellular, molecular, morphological, and physiological aspects of airway secretion, in addition to the biochemistry, rheology, and gene expression of airway mucus. Examining submucosal gland secretion, surface goblet cell secretion, and ion (or fluid) transport across the epithelium, Airway Secretion... explores the molecular and cellular concepts of exocrine glands applicable to airway secretion describes the rheological and biochemical aspects of airway secretion defense mechanisms discusses airway secretion in pathologic conditions analyzes airway hypersecretion in cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, and bronchial asthma surveys the possibilities of treating airway hypersecretion and more!
