In the first edition of Bioelectricity, Plonsey and Barr provided an introduction to electrophysiology following a quantitative approach. In the second edition they addressed new discoveries in the field of ion channels and provided an introduction to electrophysiology utilizing a quantitative approach. Bioelectricity, 3E will enhance on the developments since the successful last edition. This new edition of the classic introductory text to bioelectricity (electrophysiology) aims at biomedical engineering students and is authored by two eminent biomedical engineering professors at Duke University. Its 12 chapters cover topics in bioelectricity:
- electrical properties of the cell membrane
- action potentials
- cable theory
- neuromuscular junction
- extracellular fields
- cardiac electrophysiology.
The authors discuss many topics that are central to biophysics and bioengineering and the quantitative methods employed. In addition, this classic text will be complemented by a Bioelectricity Solutions Manual, sure to aid the the speed and assimilation of the "Teaching Text" material to the new Biomedical Engineering student.
