About the Book

The main objective of this book is to present some of the fundamental structural aspects in the design of respiratory organs while debating and speculating on when, how and why these states were founded. The author's main thesis is that the modern gas exchangers are products of protracted processes that have entailed adaptation to specific environments and lifestyles. Only those feasible designs that have proven adequately compentent in meeting demands for molecular oxygen have been preserved. The author's approach has been to look into the limiting functional properties as regards the respiratory capacities of gas exchangers while finding out the specific structural adaptations that have evolved to meet the metabolic needs or to look into form and discern how it limits function.

Table of Contents:
1 Introduction: Evolution of the Respiratory Processes.- 2 Metabolic Demands and Design of Gas Exchangers.- 3 Themes and Principles in the Design of Gas Exchangers.- 4 Functional Requirements and Design of Gas Exchangers.- 5 Respiratory Media Versus Design of Gas Exchangers.- 6 Compromises and Trade-Offs in the Design of Gas Exchangers.- 7 Safety Factors in the Design of Gas Exchangers.- 8 Malleability, Tractability and Performance of Gas Exchangers.- 9 Presentations of Respiratory Media in Gas Exchangers.- 10 Compartmentalization and Stratification of Gas Exchangers.- 11 Separation of Respiratory Media in Gas Exchangers.- 12 Exposure and Disposition of Respiratory Media in Gas Exchangers.- 13 Pneumocytes, Surfactant and Design of Gas Exchangers.- 14 Fractal Geometry and Design of Gas Exchangers.- 15 Sheet Flow Design in the Vasculature of Gas Exchangers.- 16 Summary and Conclusion.- References.- Figures.
