Pulmonary PhysiologyPulmonary Physiology identifies concepts rather than facts, to foster understanding rather than memorization. Each chapter clearly states the learning objectives then encourages self-instruction of the information presented. Students will know what they are expected to learn before reading a chapter. Study questions at the end of the book allow students to test their understanding of the key concepts presented. |
