Biofluid Dynamics of Human Body Systems

An easy-to-understand, one-stop manual on the fluid mechanics of human body systems, this book offers basic knowledge and techniques necessary to understand, design, develop, and evaluate a medical device. It includes the basic principles and applications, types and mechanics, flow dynamics through twelve human body systems. It covers the biofluid dynamics of the respiratory system, the brain, the urinary system, the digestive system, and the maternal fetal system; explains how drugs are transported through the human body; and provides information on instrumentation and measurements of body fluids.
