In Cardiopulmonary System, composite illustrations accompany sixty-seven overviews of the salient features of the cardiopulmonary system. Thorough reviews are given of the separate and collective roles of the heart, the lungs, and the circulation in physiological adjustments of the human organism in this topic-oriented text. Consideration of clinical issues is given to each topic.
