Quantitative Human Physiology,

Quantitative Human Physiology: An Introduction, Third Edition, 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 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.)
