Control of the Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems in Health and Disease : Proceedings of a Symposium Held at the University of California, Davis, April 8-9, 1994 (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology)

The 18 papers discuss interactions of neurotransmitters and endothelial cells in determining vascular tone, the influences of the upper airway on breathing, central nervous mechanisms responsible for cardio-respiratory homeostasis, the microphysiology of lung liquid clearance, atrial receptors and heart volumes, a human model of the graded restriction of blood flow in exercising leg muscles, and other topics.
