The study of complex physiological and metabolic aspects of human health can be powerfully enhanced by the use of user-friendly simulation software. This book and CD-ROM integrates the user of STELLA II (C) software into the teaching of health, nutrition and physiology. The book can be used on its own as a textbook, or can serve as a supplement in nutrition and physiology courses to introduce the role that simulation modeling can play. Dynamic Modeling in the Health Sciences discusses key subjects ranging from the theory of metabolic control to weight regulation to bone metabolism, and gives readers the tools to simulate these dynamic processes with STELLA II (C) software.
