Quantitative Human Physiology: An Introduction, 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.- Winner of a 2018 Textbook Excellence Award (College) (Texty) from the Textbook and Academic Authors Association- 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.)- Integrates labs and problem sets to provide opportunities for practice and assessment throughout the course NEW FOR THE SECOND EDITION- Expansion of many sections to include relevant information- Addition of many new figures and re-drawing of other figures to update understanding and clarify difficult areas- Substantial updating of the text to reflect newer research results- Addition of several new appendices including statistics, nomenclature of transport carriers, and structural biology of important items such as the neuromuscular junction and calcium release unit- Addition of new problems within the problem sets- Addition of commentary to power point presentations
