Book Description
The Third Edition of Kroemer's Engineering Physiology provides information on how the body functions at work, and on how one should design a work environment so that the body can function well. Written for engineers, managers, designers, and safety professionals, concise, comprehensive information is presented in a way that does not require expertise in physiology, biology or medicine. The Third Edition includes expanded and updated coverage of all the topics featured in the previous edition, as well as new illustrations. New information includes a new section on artificial body joints, revised and updated chapters on skeletal muscle, neural muscle control, biomechanics, respiration, circulation, metabolism, the environmental climate, and work schedules/body rhythms.
