Quantitative Human Physiology: An Introduction (Biomedical Engineering)

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 principles
• Integrates 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 lectures
• Covers 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
