Respiratory Physiology and Support
Introduction The primary function of the lung is to exchange gases between the bloodstream and the environment. The anatomy and physiologic control mechanisms of the lung and its associated pulmonary circulation allow for optimal efficiency of gas exchange. Due to a need for brevity, this chapter addresses only the features of lung development and pulmonary physiology that may impact the care o...
متن کاملRespiratory Anatomy and Physiology
The opening chapters cover muscle glycogen and endurance exercise, the insulin-like effects of muscle contraction, cardiovascular adaptations to endurance exercise, and the relationship between cardiovascular drugs and exercise. These chapters satisfactorily describe the methods involved in quantitating present and past data from animal and human studies. Wisely, the authors' conclusions from a...
متن کاملRespiratory Physiology
iNTRoDUCTioN The main function of the lungs is to provide continuous gas exchange between inspired air and the blood in the pulmonary circulation, supplying oxygen and removing carbon dioxide, which is then cleared from the lungs by subsequent expiration. Survival is dependent upon this process being reliable, sustained and efficient, even when challenged by disease or an unfavourable environme...
متن کاملRespiratory Physiology: Gas Exchange and Respiratory Mechanics
Respiration provides oxygen (O2) and removes carbon dioxide (CO2) for the body. An extraordinary anatomic arrangement of functional units (the alveoli) delimited by extra-thin walls (epithelium and endothelium) creates the interface for gas exchange between air and blood. Repetitive expansion and collapse of the chest wall facilitates movement of gas in and out of the lungs. This review focuses...
متن کاملphysiology and psychology of vision and its disorders: a review
the purpose of this review is to bring together to the physiology and psychology of vision and to analyze, based on our own data and on the available literature, the relationship between sight loss and individual reactions. as recent treatments for depression are often effective and have few side-effects, ophthalmologists should consider referral for treatment of depression in patients sufferin...
