Inhaltsangabe

Explore the living system inside your blood and lungs — how every breath moves oxygen through the body and how blood carries life’s essential fuel.

This edition of Lecture Notes on Physiology: The Circulation offers clear, step‑by‑step explanations of the circulatory and respiratory systems. It blends foundational concepts with detailed descriptions of blood cells, hemoglobin and its derivatives, gas transport, and the mechanics of breathing. Topics range from the anatomy of the heart and blood vessels to the chemistry of oxygen binding and the pressures that drive airflow. The material is presented in accessible language with diagrams and spectra that illuminate how the body maintains a steady balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

What you’ll experience

• Foundational and practical insights into red blood cells, plasma, and the clotting components that shape circulation.


• explanations of oxyhemoglobin, reduced hemoglobin, methemoglobin, and carbon monoxide hemoglobin and what they mean for oxygen transport.


• A look at respiratory mechanics, including intrapleural pressures, tidal air, and the factors that keep alveolar air consistent.


• Quantitative frameworks for understanding breathing rates, ventilation, and the respiratory quotient.

Ideal for readers seeking a solid, evidence‑based overview of how the body moves oxygen, removes carbon dioxide, and maintains gas balance during rest and activity. Perfect for students and curious readers alike who want a clear map of the circulation and respiration systems.
