The Respiratory Exchange of Animals and Man is a scientific book written by August Krogh and published in 1916. The book is a detailed study of the respiratory system of animals and humans, exploring the exchange of gases between the atmosphere and the body. Krogh was a Danish physiologist who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1920 for his pioneering work in respiratory physiology. The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a different aspect of respiratory exchange. Krogh begins by explaining the basic principles of respiration, including the role of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. He then goes on to discuss the structure and function of the respiratory system in various animals, from insects to mammals. One of the key topics covered in the book is the measurement of respiratory exchange. Krogh describes the techniques used to measure oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production in animals and humans, including the use of respirometers and gas analyzers. He also discusses the factors that influence respiratory exchange, such as temperature, altitude, and exercise. Throughout the book, Krogh emphasizes the importance of respiratory exchange for the survival of animals and humans. He describes the adaptations that different species have evolved to cope with varying environmental conditions, such as the ability of some animals to survive in low-oxygen environments. Overall, The Respiratory Exchange of Animals and Man is a comprehensive and detailed study of respiratory physiology that remains an important reference for scientists and researchers in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
