Inflation and deflation pressure-volume loops in anesthetized pinnipeds confirms compliant chest and lungs

We examined structural properties of the marine mammal respiratory system, and tested Scholander's hypothesis that the chest is highly compliant by measuring the mechanical properties of the respiratory system in five species of pinniped under anesthesia (Pacific harbor seal, Phoca vitulina; no...
