The second edition of the textbook is supplemented by section on physiotherapeutic equipment and the diagnostic electroption of cell membranes. The texts of a number of chapters, many illustrations and test tasks have been changed and added. The textbook consists of two parts. In the first, various types of vibrations, mechanical and electromagnetic waves, and the laws of acoustics are considered. The mechanisms of X -ray radiation and its interaction with the substance are presented. The main representations of quantum mechanics and radioactive radiation are highlighted. The application of these physical phenomena in medical practice is stated. The second part of the textbook sets out the biophysical essence of the organization of the functioning of biological objects at the cellular, tissue levels, at the level of organs and the body as a whole. The nature of ion metabolism, bioelectrogenesis, biomechanics of muscle contraction and circulatory system is revealed. Much attention is paid to methods of modeling biological processes. The problems of the interaction of the biosphere and physical fields of the world are considered. The problems of the human body's own radiation are discussed. The textbook is intended for students of medical and pharmaceutical universities, as well as students studying biophysics.
