The second edition of Cardiopulmonary System, re-titled Cardiopulmonary Physiology, has been reorganized and updated. The premise of Cardiopulmonary Physiology is that the heart, the lungs and the circulation operate as an integrated system to maintain homeostasis of blood gases over a wide range of metabolic demands of the various tissues and organs within an organism. The features of the book have been designed to assist students of the health care professions in obtaining a solid conceptual understanding of the separate and collective roles of the heart, the lungs, and the circulation in physiological adjustments of the human organism.
