"So for instance, our relationships have been linked to lower blood pressure, better immune functioning, and even inflammatory processes that are implicated in a number of diseases."

Path number 2 on my diagram it's a reversible, this path number 2, it's a reversible constant pressure path.

路径，首先是一个，等压过程。

You just need a few macroscopic variables that are very familiar to you, like the pressure, the temperature, the volume, the number of moles of each component, the mass of the system.

你只需要某些你非常熟悉的宏观变量,比如压强，温度，体积，每个组分的摩尔数，系统的质量。

So if delta v is negative, in this case delta v is negative, OK, delta v is negative, pressure is a positive number, negative times negative is positive, work is greater than zero.

也就是当活塞,压缩气体的时候，做的功是正的，按照这一规定,我们需要在这里，加上一个负号，这是习惯规定。

In this case, V = /P. Have two quantities and the number of moles gives you another property. You don't need to know the volume. All you need to know is the pressure and temperature and the number of moles to get the volume.

以及气体的摩尔数,就可以得到第三个量,知道压强，温度和气体的,摩尔数就可以推导出气体的体积,这称为状态方程,它建立了状态函数之间的联系。

I'm pressing on the gas. So I expect that to be a positive number. The pressure is constant 0 p. The V goes from V1 to zero.

我们对气体加压,所以这应该是一个正数,压强是常数，p，V从V1变成。
