such as the cardiovascular system; and the interaction and communication among these components. A distinguishing feature of physiology is that it seeks to integrate the functions of all of the parts of the body to understand the function of the entire...
Function of pulmonary surfactant: Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome (NRDS) Lack of pulmonary surfactant Inelastic Resistance 30% Inertial Resistance Viscous Resistance Airway Resistance (80~90%) Airway Resistance Definition: The resistance to the flow of air in the airways Due to: Internal fricti...

generally shaped like a bean. In the course of the oxidation, three molecules of energy-rich ATP are generated for each oxygenatomused to form a molecule of water. The mitochondrion, therefore, is the cellular site of respiratory combustion first clearly demonstrated in whole animals by Lavoisier...
