Gravitational and Hyper- and Hypobaric Stress

  • Chapter
Comprehensive Human Physiology

Abstract

The respiratory system is challenged by exposure to high or low ambient pressures and gravitational forces. These have effects on a range of respiratory functions, such as the mechanics of breathing, the exchange of respiratory gases at the lungs, and the control of pulmonary ventilation.
