Quantitative Human Physiology: An Introduction, 2Nd Edition

Quantitative Human Physiology: An Introduction 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.Takes a quantitative approach that includes physical and chemical principlesIntegrates anatomy, molecular biology, biochemistry, and physiology into the topic Includes chapter objectives, chapter summaries, a large number of illustrations, and short chapters suitable for single lecturesCovers clinical applications relevant to the biomedical engineering student (TENS, cochlear implants, blood substitutes, etc.)Features integrated labs and problem sets to help facilitate practice and assessment throughout the course
