The Physics of Physiology provides a fundamental overview on the concepts and methodologies necessary for understanding physiology and the link between physical laws and physiological regulation. The book uses bond graph theory, providing a generic framework for tracking the energy flow across multiple physical processes. This unified perspective allows the reader a deep understanding of physiology, which is instrumental for bringing physiology back on the center stage of biological research. This book is published as part of the Fundamentals of Physiology series, in association with the International Union of Physiological Sciences, for biomedical scientists, physiologists, cell biologists, molecular biologists, and related fields.
