AB  - The  principles  of  respiratory  physiology  underlie  the  understanding  of  pulmonary  function  testing.  Assumptions  about  the  respiratory  system  being  measured  are  implicit  in  all  measurements  of  lung  function  but  are  often  poorly  understood  by  the  clinicians  charged  with  interpreting  the  tests  and  using  the  results  for  patient  care.  This  chapter  will  review  simple  principles  of  respiratory  physiology  with  an  emphasis  on  providing  a  basic  understanding  of  how  the  respiratory  system  works  and  what  physiologic  principles  and  assumptions  underlie  common  measurements  of  lung  function  used  in  children.  This  chapter  will  not  provide  a  comprehensive  explanation  of  the  intricacies  of  respiratory  physiology,  nor  will  it  provide  a  “how  to”  of  lung  function  testing.  The  interested  reader  is  directed  to  the  references  listed  under  Suggested  Readings.
