Gravity and the Lung: Lessons from Microgravity
Informa Healthcare, Aug 2001, Pages: 408
This up-to-the-minute reference provides comprehensive coverage of the behavior of the lung in the presence and absence of gravity-emphasizing the effect of gravity upon the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and lymphatic systems.
Covers experiments in respiratory physiology from before the Space Shuttle Era to long-duration flights of the International Space Station!
Detailing the effects of gravity on blood flow, inhaled particulate matter (PM), and ventilation control on the lung, Gravity and the Lung discusses
- convective gas transport in the lung
- atmospheric contamination in closed spaceship environments
- future research in microgravity
- distribution of ventilation, perfusion, and gas exchange
- decompression sickness associated with extravehicular activity (EVA)
- applies the lessons of space research to physiology on the ground
- and more!
Based on the editors' first-hand experiences in Spacelab research, Gravity and the Lung is an authoritative source for pulmonologists and respiratory system specialists; physiologists; pneumologists; allergists; pharmacologists; molecular, cellular, and lung biologists; and graduate and medical school students in these disciplines.
