It examines biological and physiological processes and phenomena, including a selection of mathematical models, showing how physiological problems can be mathematically formulated and studied. It also illustrates how a wide range of engineering and physics topics, such as electronics, fluid dynamics, solid mechanics and control theory can be used to describe and understand physiological processes and systems. Throughout the text, there are introductions to measuring and quantifying physiological processes using both signaling and imaging technologies. This new edition includes updated material on pathophysiology, metabolism and the TCA cycle, as well as more advanced worked examples. This book describes the basic structure and models of cellular systems, the structure and function of the cardiovascular system, and the electrical and mechanical activity of the heart, and provides an overview of the structure and function of the respiratory and nervous systems. It also includes an introduction to the basic concepts and applications of reaction kinetics, pharmacokinetic modelling and tracer kinetics. It appeals to final year biomedical engineering undergraduates and graduates alike, as well as to practising engineers new to the fields of bioengineering or medical physics. .Biosystems & Biorobotics,2195-3570 ;24Biomedical engineeringHuman physiologyBioinformaticsBiomedical Engineering and BioengineeringHuman PhysiologyComputational and Systems BiologyBiomedical engineering.Human physiology.Bioinformatics.Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineering.Human Physiology.Computational and Systems Biology.612.00151Chappell Michaelauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut762987Payne Stephenauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910392745503321Physiology for Engineers2040921UNINA
