Biophysics of the human body.
Addresses the physical and engineering aspects of human physiology by using and building on first-year college physics and mathematics. This work aims to offers an understanding of physical 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.
