A Textbook Of Human Physiology

Human physiology is the science of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of humans. Physiology is the most fascinating and ancient branch of science. It unfolds the mystery of complicated functions of the body system and individual organs in the body. The basic physiological functions include, provision of oxygen and nutrients, removal of metabolites and other waste products, maintenance of blood pressure and body temperature, locomotor functions and sensory functions, reproduction and intellectual functions like learning and memory.Amply illustrated the book briefly provides all the aspects of Human Physiology.Students pursuing Nursing, Physiotherapy and Biotechnology Engineering courses will find this book very useful.

Organised by systems, this highly illustrated textbook of human physiology includes self assessment questions and further reading at the end of sections, with overviews and bullet point outlines to aid navigation and help with revision

This book makes an effort an effort to meet the requirement of undergraduate and post-graduate to understand, unless presented in a simple and clear manner. The main objective of the book is to express the fundamental principles and physiological basis of modern medicine in a form which will make the subject clear, lucid and easily understandable to the Indian students of medicine,by avoiding unnecessary or complicated details. While presenting basic fundamentals of physiology and recent concepts that has evolved on the subject, the book strives to present a balanced exposition of the general principles and physiology and experimental research.

Important, difficult concepts like the mechanism for temperature regulation are presented in separate, stand-alone chapters for greater understanding.

Designed to address the challenges instructors face in teaching students with varied backgrounds and learning styles, this text provides features such as chemistry review boxes to provide resources for students, while toolboxes and discovery boxes allow instructors the option to delve into more detail about physiology topics.
