Quantitative Human Physiology: An Introduction, winner of a 2018 Textbook Excellence Award (Texty),?is the first text to meet the needs of the undergraduate bioengineering student who is being exposed to physiology for the first time but requires a more analytical/quantitative approach. This book explores how component behavior produces system behavior in physiological systems. Through text explanation, figures, and equations, it provides the engineering student with a basic understanding of physiological principles with an emphasis on quantitative aspects. The third edition has been revised with the inclusion of a full new unit on The Integument and Integrated Physiology, more and expanded problem sets, and improved illustrations.
Key Features
- Features a quantitative approach that includes physical and chemical principles
- Provides a more integrated approach from first principles, integrating anatomy, molecular biology, biochemistry and physiology
- Includes clinical applications relevant to the biomedical engineering student (TENS, cochlear implants, blood substitutes, etc.)
