MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
This comprehensive survey covers all aspects of oxygen delivery to tissue, including blood flow and its regulation as well as oxygen metabolism. Special attention is paid to methods of oxygen measurement in living tissue and application of these technologies to understanding physiological and biochemical basis for pathology related to tissue oxygenation. This multidisciplinary book is designed to bring together experts and students from a range of research fields.
