Description

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.
