It provides a first-hand chronicle of the advancements made in respiratory physiology starting with Galen and the beginnings of Western physiology. The volume covers many aspects of the evolution of this important area of knowledge: pulmonary circulation, Boyle?s Law, pulmonary capillaries and alveoli, morphology, gas exchange and blood flow, mechanics, control of ventilation, and comparative physiology. The book emphasizes societal and philosophical aspects of the history of science. Although it concentrates on physiology, it also describes how cultural movements, such as The Enlightenment, shaped the researchers discussed. 410 0$aPerspectives in Physiology,$x2625-2813 606 $aMedicine?History 606 $aHuman physiology 606 $aCell physiology 606 $aRespiratory organs?Diseases 606 $aEvolutionary biology 606 $aHistory of Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H64000 606 $aHuman Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B13004 606 $aCell Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33010 606 $aPneumology/Respiratory System$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33134 606 $aEvolutionary Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L21001 615 0$aMedicine?History. 615 0$aHuman physiology. 615 0$aCell physiology. 615 0$aRespiratory organs?Diseases. 615 0$aEvolutionary biology. 615 14$aHistory of Medicine. 615 24$aHuman Physiology. 615 24$aCell Physiology. 615 24$aPneumology/Respiratory System. 615 24$aEvolutionary Biology. 676 $a571.6 676 $a576.8 676 $a610 676 $a612 676 $a616.2 676 $a616009 700 $aWest$b John B$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0633685 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298272703321 996 $aEssays on the History of Respiratory Physiology$92513397 997 $aUNINA
