About the Book

Incorporates state-of-the-art interpretations of complex pulmonary physiology revealed by high-resolution or -magnification studies into current concepts of lung mechanics, gas exchange, and pulmonary vascular and regional ventilation properties. Features a new alternate hypothesis to describe blood flow distribution in the lung.

Review :
"Incorporates state-of-the-art interpretations of complex pulmonary physiology revealed by high-resolution or -magnification studies into current concepts of lung mechanics, gas exchange, and pulmonary vascular and regional ventilation properties. Features a new alternate hypothesis to describe blood flow distribution in the lung. a book of considerable merit....offers a rich, new, and challenging collection of ideas.... a unique and an admirable contribution to the Lung Biology in Health and Disease series.
