About the Author

Kappagoda, C. Tissa (UC Davis); Kaufman, Marc P. (UC Davis)

The contributors were participants in the symposium of the same name as this book, held in April 1994 at UC Davis. They represent the specialties of physiology, internal medicine, and biophysics. Most are from universities and research institutions in the U.K. and the U.S., with some from Israel, India, Sweden, and Canada. Institutions prominently represented include Leeds Univ, Kings Coll London, UCSF, and UC Davis.

Editorial Reviews

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.
