Gray s Anatomy

The complex functions of the lung and pulmonary system are accomplished through a series of specialized cells (more than forty types have been identified), tissues, and structures. Standard medical texts such as Gray s Anatomy (Warwick and Williams, 1973) and Functional Anatomy erf the Lung (Nagaishi, 1972) should be consulted for details, but for our purposes, we describe four features that ensure optimum lung function, before discussing the diseases that affect the system. 

For more detailed information on the respiratory tract, the pleura, and the lymphatic system, consult Gray s Anatomy or other standard medical texts. A comprehensive review of the lung and its structure and function is presented in Nagaishi (1972).

The study of cadaveric bone specimens has enabled anatomists to obtain extensive information regarding the form ofbone but has led to inaccurate information regarding its function. According to Gray s Anatomy, "Bones from preserved cadavers yield misleading values, especially in regards to plastic deformation, but also in elasticity, hardness, and compressive and tensile properties."...
