Thoroughly updated, the sixth edition covers the essential information in respiratory physiology in a well-organized, concise format. "Respiratory Physiology: The Essentials" is an introductory text written by Dr. West, a well-respected leader in the field. Updated sections include pulmonary capillaries, diffusion of carbon dioxide, hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, pulmonary edema, and a new chapter focusing on control of ventilation. Numerous illustrations, improved two-color diagrams, self-study review questions, and a helpful index detailing symbols, units, and equations help facilitate rapid learning of the material. All of the diagrams have been improved by adding a second color.
Structure and function - how the architecture of the lung subserves its function; Ventilation - how gas gets to the alveoli.; Diffusion - how gas gets across the blood-gas barrier.; Blood flow and metabolism - how the pulmonary circulation removes gas from the lung and alters some metabolites.; Ventilation - perfusion relationships - how matching of gas and blood determines gas exchange.; Gas transport by the blood - how gases are moved to the peripheral tissues.; Mechanics of breathing - how the lung is supported and moved.; Control of ventilation - how gas exchange is regulated; Respiratory system under stress - how gas exchange is accomplished during exercise, at low and high pressures, and at birth.; Tests of pulmonary function - how respiratory physiology is applied to measure lung function.; Appendices; Index
