As a source of information on the comparative biology of the mammalian lung it is unrivalled….There is no doubt that this is an excellent book. Anybody who is professionally concerned with the biology of the lung should have access to a copy. ...If the next three volumes are as good as this then the series will be a benchmark publication in inhalation toxicology.\" --\u003cb\u003eR.L.

This fully updated work is divided into sections on anatomy and morphology, physiology, biochemistry, and immunological response. It continues to provide a unique comparative perspective on the mammalian lung. This edition includes several new chapters and expanded content, including aging and development of the normal lung, mechanical properties of the lung, genetic polymorphisms, the comparative effect of stress of pulmonary immune function, oxygen signaling in the mammalian lung and much more. By addressing scientific advances and critical issues in lung research, this 2nd edition is a timely and valuable work on comparative data for the interpretation of studies of animal models as compared to the human lung.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection I – Structural and Cellular Diversity of the Mammalian Respiratory System\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection II – Comparative Respiratory Physiology of the Normal Lung\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection III – Comparative Biochemistry of the Normal Lung\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection IV – Physical and Immunological Defenses of the Respiratory Tract\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Animal physiology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Animal physiology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Animal%20physiology%20%5BPSVD%5D%22\"\u003ePSVD\u003c\/a\u003e], Medical toxicology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Medical toxicology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Medical%20toxicology%20%5BMMGT%5D%22\"\u003eMMGT\u003c\/a\u003e], Respiratory medicine [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Respiratory medicine\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Respiratory%20medicine%20%5BMJL%5D%22\"\u003eMJL\u003c\/a\u003e], Physiology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Physiology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Physiology%20%5BMFG%5D%22\"\u003eMFG\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Academic Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46649338888472,"sku":"9780124045774","price":109.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780124045774.jpg?v=1694099829","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/comparative-biology-of-the-normal-lung-hardback-9780124045774","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
