This text provides a comprehensive discussion of biological mass transfer and bioelectrical phenomena. It is suitable for students in physiology, biophysics and biomedicine. Emphasis is given to the applicability of physics, physical chemistry and mathematics to the analysis of biological processes. The necessary mathematical grounding is provided.
This text, suitable for graduates and researchers in physiology and biophysics and medical students specializing in neurophysiology and related fields, provides a comprehensive discussion of biological mass transfer and bioelectrical phenomena. Emphasis has been given to the applicability of physics, physical chemistry and mathematics to the quantitative analysis of biological processes, with all the necessary mathematical grounding provided in Chapter 1. This book guides the student through the key stages needed for the formulation of biological models and interpretation of mathematical solutions, central to the understanding of cell membrane functions.
