Table of Contents:
- 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.
