Circulation

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Biomechanics: Circulation continues Y.C. Fung's acclaimed discussion of physiology, presenting the mechanical aspects of circulation in terms as precise as those of physics. Fung uses a mathematical approach to formulate problems in experimental exploration, data collection, model experiments, in vivo observations, and theoretical ideas. This book discusses the physics of the heart, arteries, veins, microcirculation, and pulmonary blood flow, with a focus on the coupling of fluids and solids in these organs. The second edition adds new chapters on coronary blood flow and blood flow in skeletal muscle.

Autorenporträt

Biomechanics: Motion, Flow, Stress, and Growth concludes the seminal
trilogy of Y.C. Fung, the world's premiere authority on biomechanics.
As in the first two volumes--Biomechanics: Mechanical Properties of
Living Tissues and Biomechanics: Circulation--Fung articulates
physiological phenomena from the perspective of classical engineering.
Each volume stands alone as a comprehensive survey of the field, but
also complements Fung's extended discussion. Problem sets are included
to stimulate thought and discussion among advanced undergraduates,
graduate students, and others with an interest in bioengineering and
medicine.

Rezensionen

"Fung has made substantial contributions as a researcher to the underlying material represented here. In the preface, the author indicates his hope that an instructor, using this book as a course textbook, will both teach 'an essential branch of this life science'and provide the student with a background in machanics. To this end, he succeeds." Quarterly Review of Biology
