Chapter summary -- Conclusion -- Appendix -- References -- Index -- EULA. 330 $aThe book 'The Elasticity of Life: From Tissues to Humans' by Pascal Sommer and Romain Debret explores the concept of elasticity in biological systems, focusing on its impact on human tissues and health. It delves into the strengths and weaknesses of the human body's elastic properties, discussing topics like longevity, fibrosis, skin elasticity, and the mechanical factors that strengthen the elastic system. The authors aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of how elasticity influences various physiological processes, including respiration, digestion, and sensory functions. This book is intended for readers with an interest in biology, medicine, and the mechanics of human health.$7Generated by AI. 606 $aTissues$7Generated by AI 606 $aHuman physiology$7Generated by AI 615 0$aTissues 615 0$aHuman physiology 700 $aSommer$b Pascal$01838133 701 $aDebret$b Romain$01838134 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911020212603321 996 $aThe Elasticity of Life$94417053 997 $aUNINA
