Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed and comprehensive treatise on the physiology of the lungs. The author proposes a fresh perspective on the chemical and physical processes related to respiration, arguing that the air constantly flowing in and out of the lungs (the breath) interacts with only the uppermost portions of the far larger volume of air permanently occupying the lungs (the resident air). The resident air, therefore, rather than the breath, is responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide with the blood. The book meticulously explores the implications of this, focusing particularly on the composition of the resident air, its role in maintaining a consistent level of oxygenation in the blood, and the implications for our understanding of respiratory health. Of enduring value and interest to physiologists, this book offers important new insights into the vital process of respiration.
