Diffusion : how gas gets across the blood-gas barrier -- 4. Blood flow and metabolism : how the pulmonary circulation removes gas from the lung and alters some metabolites -- 5. Ventilation-perfusion relationships : how matching of gas and blood determines gas exchange -- 6. Gas transport by the blood : how gases are moved to the peripheral tissues -- 7. Mechanics of breathing : how the lung is supported and moved -- 8. Control of ventilation : how gas exchange is regulated -- 9. Respiratory system under stress : how gas exchange is accomplished during exercise, at low and high pressures, and at birth -- 10. Tests of pulmonary function : how respiratory physiology is applied to measure lung function | |
