Produktbeschreibung

On Oxygen: From Air to Tissues, the latest release in the Fundamentals of Physiology series, provides a fundamental overview of the entire oxygen pathway, sharing key mechanistic insights into the alternating conductive and diffusive steps of O2 transport. The book describes specific aspects along each stage of the oxygen route through the body, from the transfer of air to the alveoli, through the lungs, to the ultimate fate of O2 in the mitochondria. Additionally, the effect of specific disease states, aging, and developmental aspects are considered. This book, published in association with the International Union of Physiological Sciences, acts is a valuable introduction to the full biological journey of oxygen, and is a beneficial guide for students and researchers in physiology, sport science, pulmonology, and related fields. - Offers a comprehensive, integrated overview of oxygen delivery systems from air to cell and its impact on physiological function - Covers fundamental aspects of each stage of oxygenation, providing a reductionist approach to complex topics - Explores physiological responses in the human body at rest and during exercise - Includes case studies considering various mammals, terrestrial vertebrates, and aquatic animals in discussion of how body size influences key elements of the O2 transport chain

Autorenporträt

Michael Joyner, M.D., is a physician-researcher and leading expert on human performance and exercise physiology. He is currently a consultant in the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine and Department of Physiology and Biomedical Engineering at the Mayo Clinic, United States. Using humans as his model system, he has made major contributions to understanding muscle and skin blood flow, blood pressure regulation, and human athletic performance. Dr. Joyner has been a consultant to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and NASA and has held leadership positions with prestigious scientific journals. His research lab at Mayo Clinic has been continuously funded by the NIH since 1993, and Mayo Clinic named him a Distinguished Investigator in 2010.
