Oxygen Transfer from Atmosphere to Tissues

This volume summarized the Proceedings of a meeting held at the University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, on March 27 and 28, 1987. The meeting developed as a result of the celebration of the Centennial of the American Physiological Society. We took the opportunity offered by the presence, in the United States, of several European scientists who were quests of the American Physiological Society. Most of the symposium participants also attended the FASEB meeting which took place immediately afterwards in Washington, D.C. We wish to express our appreciation to the contributors to this book and to all those who attended the meeting. The symposium and this book and to all those who attended the meeting. The symposium and this book would not have been possible without the generous support of the following; The Parker B. France III Foundation, Kansas City, Missouri; The Hans Rudolph Company, Kansas City, Missouri; The School of Medicine, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, Kansas; The Department of Physiology, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, Kansas; The College of Veterinary Medicine, Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas. We also want to thank Gail Widener, Antoinette Bray and Janet Pauly, of the Department of Physiology, University of Kansas Medical Center, for their invaluable help during the symposium, and Mrs. Linda Carr, who had the arduous task of typing the manuscripts.
