| Abstract
|
:
|
The extracellular acid-base state of an animal organism provides information about various processes: respiration, metabolism, ionic exchanges. Therefore, it has become customary to measure blood pH in many physiological experiments. This book presents the necessary background for the understanding of the acid-base state in animal organisms facing various environmental and physiological situations. Particular emphasis is put on the fundamental differences between water- and air- breathers and on the acid-base and respiratory problems arising at the transition from aquatic to terrestial life. In addition to technical and methodological advice, the reader will find the basic physico-chemical and physiological information required to interpret measurements, a critical assessment of current concepts in acid-base physiology, and many useful comments on environmental adaptation and physiological evolution.
