Cardiopulmonary Anatomy & Physiology Essentials of Respiratory Care 7th Edition

Cardiopulmonary Anatomy & Physiology: Essentials of Respiratory Care, Seventh Edition provides a comprehensive introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Designed for students and healthcare professionals, this edition explains the fundamental principles of heart and lung function while emphasizing their critical role in oxygen transport, gas exchange, and overall human health.

The book covers the structure and function of the respiratory tract, lungs, heart, blood vessels, pulmonary circulation, ventilation, perfusion, gas exchange, acid-base balance, oxygen and carbon dioxide transport, and the regulation of breathing. It also explores cardiopulmonary assessment, respiratory mechanics, pulmonary function, and the physiological basis of common respiratory and cardiovascular disorders.

Ideal for students in respiratory therapy, nursing, allied health, emergency medicine, exercise science, and other healthcare programs, this edition provides a strong foundation for understanding cardiopulmonary science and the principles of respiratory care.
