Vertebrate Gas Exchange: From Environment to Cell de R.G. Boutilier

Vertebrate Gas Exchange: From Environment to Cell: Advances in Comparative and Environmental Physiology, cartea 6

R.G. Boutilier Editat de Robert G. Boutilier S. Egginton, N. Heisler, W.K. Milsom, S.F. Perry, J. Piiper, E.R. Swenson, D. Randall, R.M.G. Wells
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 dec 2011
The structural and chemical limitations to respiratory gas exchange existing between the ambient medium and the cell are comprehensively treated. Beginning with an examination of the natural oscillations of respiratory gases in both terrestrial and aquatic environments, Vertebrate Gas Exchange details the structures involved in convecting the medium (air or water), the morphometrics of capillary gas transfers, and gas transfer kinetics. Important features include details on measurement techniques associated with tissue capillary supply and gas exchange kinetics.
