This book provides a thorough yet concise exploration of human respiratory physiology, covering everything from the functional anatomy of the lungs and airways to the mechanics of breathing, gas exchange, and regulation of respiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecial attention is given to applied and clinical aspects, including pulmonary function testing, arterial blood gases, abnormal breathing patterns, respiratory diseases (like asthma, COPD, and pneumonia), high-altitude physiology, and artificial ventilation. Designed as a handbook-style resource, it is ideal for medical, dental, nursing, and allied health students, as well as practitioners seeking a practical reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Learning Outcomes: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderstand the structure and function of the respiratory tract, lungs, pleura, and respiratory muscles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eLearn the mechanics of breathing, lung volumes and capacities, and gas exchange at alveolar and tissue levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore regulation of respiration through nervous and chemical mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eApply physiology to clinical scenarios including abnormal respiration, hypoxia, hypercapnea, pulmonary diseases, and oxygen therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eGain insight into specialized physiology including high-altitude, aviation, space, and deep-sea adaptations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eFunctional Anatomy of the Respiratory Tract\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eMechanics of Breathing \u0026amp; Respiratory Volumes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePulmonary Function Testing \u0026amp; Gas Exchange\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eOxygen and Carbon Dioxide Transport\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegulation of Respiration\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eApplied Respiratory Physiology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbnormal Breathing \u0026amp; Respiratory Disorders\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eHigh-Altitude, Aviation, and Space Physiology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtificial and Mechanical Ventilation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46332347416727,"sku":"9798268286953","price":5023.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798268286953.webp?v=1768725908","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/respiratory-physiology-the-breath-of-life-9798268286953","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
