Pulmonary Physiology

Featuring a new two-color design, this classic introductory/refresher text provides a thorough grounding in the aspects of pulmonary physiology crucial to understanding clinical medicine. Its innovative approach stresses comprehension of fundamental concepts over rote memorization, and reinforces key points by applying basic physiologic principles to different clinical situations or different aspects of the respiratory system. Each chapter begins with a set of clearly defined learning objects then provides detailed and complete explanations of physiologic states. In addition, study questions - with fully explained answers - are included for self-testing and review.
