• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Biophysics of the Senses (Second Edition) connects fundamental properties of physics to biological systems, relating them directly to the human body. It includes discussions of the role of charges and free radicals in disease and homeostasis, human bioelectricity and circuitry, forces within the body, and biophysical sensory mechanisms. Newton's laws of motion are applied to explain the mechanics of the body, whereas aspects of heat, energy and power reveal how the body maintains a level of stability. Simple algebraic mathematics and the International System (SI) of units are used throughout, and worked examples are included. This is an exciting view of how sensory aspects of biophysics are utilized in everyday life for students who are curious but struggle with the connection between biology and physics. Updates to the first edition include two new chapters covering the mechanics of sound and hearing and power tools.
