  • Book Description

    Physiology is a subject full of values: ion concentrations, cardiac output, blood pressures, lung volumes etc. In order to understand physiological concepts properly the student (and teacher) needs to think quantitatively. This book encourages the reader to do just that--through the presentation of calculations which require only simple arithmetic to resolve and a lively, accessible writing style and presentation. Error avoidance and the usefulness of 'back-of-envelope' calculation are emphasised. This book will be welcomed by number-shy (and not-so-shy) biologists everywhere.
