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
