Part I of this two-volume sequence, Biology, addresses the nanoscopic and microscopic scales. The nanoscale corresponds to the scale of biochemical reaction cascades involved in cell adaptation to mechanical stresses among other stimuli. The microscale is the scale of stress-induced tissue remodeling associated with acute or chronic loadings. The cardiovascular system, like any physiological system, has a complicated three-dimensional structure and composition. Its time dependent behavior is regulated, and this complex system has many components. In this authoritative work, the author provides a survey of relevant cell components and processes, with detailed coverage of the electrical and mechanical behaviors of vascular cells, tissues, and organs. Because the behaviors of vascular cells and tissues are tightly coupled to the mechanics of flowing blood, the major features of blood flows and the Navier-Stokes equations of mass and momentum conservation are introduced at the conclusion of this volume. This book will appeal to any biologist, chemist, physicist, or applied mathematician with an interest in the functioning of the cardiovascular system. 0aPHYSICS. 0aCARDIOLOGY. 0aMATERIALS. 0aBIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING.14aPHYSICS.24aBIOPHYSICS AND BIOLOGICAL PHYSICS.24aBIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING.24aCARDIOLOGY.24aCONTINUUM MECHANICS AND MECHANICS OF MATERIALS.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z9780387748467 0aCRM Series in Mathematical Physics40uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-74847-4zVer el texto completo en las instalaciones del CICY
