  The background information for my biology coursework - how does 
inspiration affect heart rate - is rather harder to find than I had first 
imagined.  
  I cannot find anything on the lungs as a blood reservoir - and 
consequently have little information on how pulmonary pressure changes 
with inspiration and exhilation.
  I would love to know more detail about how deeper inhilation affected 
venous return to the heart (related to the reservoir capacity of the 
lungs). 
Thanks.
