Description
Fully updated throughout, this second edition of Physiology, Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering provides a multidisciplinary understanding of biological phenomena and the instrumentation for monitoring these phenomena. Now split into two volumes, it provides a comprehensive introduction for undergraduate courses emphasising the application of the physical sciences to human physiology in a medical context. Volume 1 tackles human biophysical physiology, whilst volume 2 explores biomedical engineering and instrumentation. Developed from the authors’ courses in medical biophysics and biomedical instrumentation, this book shows how biophysics and biomedical engineering have advanced modern medicine. It brings together the physical principles underlying human physiological processes and the physical methods used to monitor these processes. Requiring mostly only basic mathematical knowledge, the text supplements mathematical formulae with qualitative explanations and illustrations to encourage an intuitive grasp on the processes discussed. Key Features: Offers a multidisciplinary approach to human biological systems and highlights the application of physics and engineering methods to medicine and biology. Gives readers a solid basis for understanding the physiological processes in the human body. Incorporates a range of numerical problems with worked solutions and provides MATLAB® and some Python code for advanced mathematical analysis of physiological and clinical monitoring systems.
