This new text leads the reader through some of the more challenging aspects of cardiopulmonary structure and function that relate to respiratory care. Appropriate clinical and pathophysiological examples are used to reinforce fundamental anatomy and physiology of the cardiopulmonary system, but are of a type and style that do not overwhelm the novice. Designed to provide a solid foundation in physiologic and theoretical basics for subsequent clinical courses, this volume of two dozen nattily-formatted chapters is organized by Cottrell (respiratory therapy, Fanshawe College, London) into three units related to the bodily systems of most interest to respiratory care practitioners: respiratory, cardiovascular, and urinary. Includes ample lucid illustrations, and color plates of respiratory tract and cardiovascular anatomy. Appends a listing of relevant symbols and abbreviations, the DuBois body surface area chart, and a glossary of terms. The accompanying CD contains an electronic workbook with review questions.
