This book comprehensively addresses the physics and engineering
aspects of human physiology by using and building on first-year
college physics and mathematics. Topics include the mechanics of
the static body and the body in motion, the mechanical properties
of the body, muscles in the body, the energetics of body
metabolism, fluid flow in the cardiovascular and respiratory
systems, the acoustics of sound waves in speaking and hearing,
vision and the optics of the eye, the electrical properties of the
body, and the basic engineering principles of feedback and control
in regulating all aspects of function. The goal of this text is to
clearly explain the physics issues concerning the human body, in
part by developing and then using simple and subsequently more
refined models of the macrophysics of the human body. Many chapters
include a brief review of the underlying physics. There are
problems at the end of each chapter; solutions to selected problems
are also provided. This second edition enhances the treatments of
the physics of motion, sports, and diseases and disorders, and
integrates discussions of these topics as they appear throughout
the book. Also, it briefly addresses physical measurements of and
in the body, and offers a broader selection of problems, which, as
in the first edition, are geared to a range of student levels. This
text is geared to undergraduates interested in physics, medical
applications of physics, quantitative physiology, medicine, and
biomedical engineering.
