Abstract

Although physiological systems are generally extremely complex, similarities between the various systems allow the formalisation of a generalised approach. A 'topdown' method of analysis is proposed, leading to the delineation of specific sub-systems and the interactions between them. A standard system of symbols is proposed to ensure efficient communication, and a specific systems will be used to demonstrate the method.
