| Abstract |
Elaborate and variegated life forms have evolved in the narrow ecological niche defined by Earth's gaseous environment. Certain common gases are used by organisms as energy sources or produced by organisms as metabolic waste. Closed-loop controls have evolved which regulate critical blood gases with astonishing precision, even under conditions of wide deviation of gas levels in the environment. It is possible, with a little more than current knowledge, to construct a unified account of the physiological mechanisms which regulate departures from normal environmental gas levels and the behavioral consequences of such exposures. |
