This volume presents contributions given at the international sysposium on The Vertebrate Gas Transport Cascade: Adaptations to Environment and Mode of Life , held in Sao Sebastiao, Sao Paulo, Brazil, from September 10-15, 1991. Recent developments in the field and the unifying principles of basic respiratory mechanisms are covered, and reviews in major areas of respiratory physiology are complemented by recent experimental data. Principal topics discussed include conditions for gas exchange in selected special environment, ventilation of the gas exchanger, diffusing capacity and exchange between respired medium and blood, respiratory pegments and oxygen transport by blood, cardiovascular function and oxygen transport by blood, oxygen delivery to tissue, and transition to anaerobic metabolism.
