Summary

Respiratory physiology involves a number of areas, all of which are complex. These areas include the structure and function of the lung, the mechanics of breathing, gas exchange within the lung, oxygen uptake/transport and delivery, control of carbon dioxide and ventilation. Pathologies of the lung itself, as well as other disorders (cardiac disease, neurological disease, haematological disease, musculoskeletal disorders etc.) have varying effects on the different aspects of pulmonary physiology. In addition, advanced respiratory treatments such as mechanical ventilation may also have effects on all of these.
