Abstract
What did Cardio say to Respi? “You provide the gas, I will provide the transport!” Cardiovascular physiology is appropriately taught before respiratory physiology in a well-designed undergraduate curriculum. We always teach the general before mentioning the exceptions. Pulmonary hemodynamics have their own unique functional characteristics, different from systemic control of arterial blood pressure and regional organ flow.
