Physics in Biology and Medicine, Fifth Edition provides a highly relevant physics background for students in medicine and related professions. In many cases, biological systems are analyzed quantitatively. The text shows how advances in the life sciences have been aided by the knowledge of physical or engineering analysis techniques. The quantitative aspects of the subject are demonstrated, and associated exercises teach how to apply quantitative reasoning to the subject. This fully revised and updated edition includes new material on the biomechanics of joint replacement, the lubricating properties of saliva, 3-D printing and its use in medicine, new materials in dentistry, and more. Provides practical information and techniques for applying the knowledge of physics to the study of living systemsPresents material in a straightforward manner that requires very little background in physics or biologyIncludes many figures, examples, illustrative problems and appendices which provide convenient access to the most important concepts of mechanics, electricity and optics in the bodyFeatures an online Instructor Solutions Manual INDICE: 1.
