Fundamentals of Human Physiology

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the quantitative analysis of human physiology, this textbook delves into the mathematical formulation of physiological processes using fundamental physics principles. It covers a diverse array of topics, including circulation dynamics, muscle mechanics, respiration, gas diffusion, and kidney functions. Key concepts such as force-length and force-velocity relations, acid-base equilibrium, and the Nernst equation are explored, providing a comprehensive understanding of how these physiological phenomena interact and function within the human body.
