Physiology for Engineers - A Systems Approach

This will be a comprehensive primary text for emerging courses enttled physiology for engineers or systems physiology.. This book allows the reader to understand the ways in which human beings adapt to a changing external environment, so they can thrive. Topics are covered in detail from a systems approach, which allows for the creation of mathematical models of homeostasis from block diagrams. Each chapter starts with one or more brief pathophysiologic episodes that illustrates the loss of homeostatic
