Respiratory Physiology : The Essentials (6th ed)

Thoroughly updated, the Sixth Edition covers the essential information in respiratory physiology in a well organised, concise format.

This book is an introductory text written by Dr. West, a well respected leader in the field. Updated sections to the book include pulmonary capillaries, diffusion of carbon dioxide, hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, pulmonary edema, and also a new chapter focusing on control of ventilation.

There are numerous illustrations, improved two colour diagrams, self study review questions, and a helpful index detailing symbols, units, and equations to help facilitate rapid learning of the material.

All of the diagrams have been improved by adding a second colour.
