Giovanni Cavagna Book order

Focusing on the quantitative analysis of human physiology, this textbook delves into the mathematical formulation of physiological processes using fundamental physics principles. It covers a diverse array of topics, including circulation dynamics, muscle mechanics, respiration, gas diffusion, and kidney functions. Key concepts such as force-length and force-velocity relations, acid-base equilibrium, and the Nernst equation are explored, providing a comprehensive understanding of how these physiological phenomena interact and function within the human body.
