Expert Guide: “Living Flows”

Blue Portance Knowledge Base · Non-commercial reproduction permitted with source attribution

This section brings together the mechanisms that make the living body a continuous-flow organization: continuous exchanges of matter, water and energy, mechanical deformations and the biological responses that sustain living matter, as well as the way these exchanges are perceived and integrated by the nervous system. Each entry leads to a dedicated knowledge guide.

Living flows – continuous exchanges of matter, energy and information in the body
