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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shiv Dutt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798268286953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.49d","brand":"Shiv Dutt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47580125888767,"sku":"9798268286953","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b61405e3-b953-4562-8378-cd22085efe25.jpg?v=1763878978","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/respiratory-physiology-shiv-dutt-9798268286953","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
