this reference examines the structural connections between the upper and lower
airways and explores the microscopic and gross anatomy of the respiratory tract.
Considering functional relationships, as well as human and animal models of
disease, this source delivers articles on the pathophysiology, epidemiology,
diagnosis and treatment of allergic airway dysfunction and other illnesses
