Human thermal physiology is defined using mathematical methods routinely employed by physicists and engineers, but seldom used by physiologists. Major sections of the book are devoted to blood flow, sweating, shivering, heat transfer within the body, and heat and mass transfer from skin and clothing to the environment. Simple algebraic models based on experimental data from a century of physiological investigation are developed for bodily processes. The book offers an invaluable source of information for physiologists and physical scientists interested in quantitative approaches to the fascinating field of human thermoregulationSummary: Animal Heat and Thermal Regulation -- Conservation of Energy -- Temperature Measurement -- Circulation -- Sweating -- Shivering -- Temperature Distribution in the Body -- Clothing -- Heat and Mass Transfer from the Skin and ClothingPPN: PPN: 1038685877Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SBL | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXB
