Principles Of Physiology

The most authoritative and student-friendly physiology textbook of its kind provides a concise introduction to modern physiology. A simple straightforward writing style contains concise explanations of only the most relevant principles in physiology. This illustrated book contains 4-colour illustrations which clearly show all aspects of physiology and help students easily grasp difficult concepts and structures. A multi-author approach in this book, allows the most current information to be presented by those who know it best. The emphasis in this book is on fundamentals in physiology. It is particularly strong on cell biology which is the basis for all other functions in the body. These cellular and molecular aspects are emphasized throughout the text. Helpful learning aids such as boldfaced terms, summaries and review questions maximize learning and mastery of difficult topics. Clinical comments place the information in context, providing a student with justification for learning details which are not always of obvious significance. This textbook leads the student through its subject matter and is an effective teaching aid for medical physiology

Principles of Human Physiology, Fifth Edition integrates clinical connections and stimulating critical thinking questions in a clear and engaging visual presentation that makes it easy for you to learn, understand, and apply key physiological processes. The new Fifth Edition includes even more assessment questions and dynamic new features including new Focus on Diabetes boxes, Health Facts and Functional Facts margin icons, consistent attention to clinical connections, and a revitalized art program that enable you to focus your attention on the most important concepts.

The new edition of Principles of Anatomy and Physiology maintains the superb balance between structure and function. It continues to emphasize the correlations between normal physiology and pathophysiology, normal anatomy and pathology, and homeostasis and homeostatic imbalances. The acclaimed illustration program is also even better along with the redevelopment of many of the figures depicting the toughest topics to grasp.

The Principles and Practice of Human Physiology reflects the progress of human physiology and presents developments through instrumentation and field work. This book is a continuation of previous texts on human physiology and survival, but focuses more on the aspect of human endeavor. The text comprises of 12 chapters with an additional article at the beginning (written by one of the authors) and a postscript regarding human experimentation and the ethics of it. Chapter 1 lays the foundation with a discussion on the history of human physiology. The succeeding chapters tackle and focus on aspects of physiology such as work, thermal, underwater, locomotor and postural, and stress. A chapter on instrumentation and physiological measurements is also featured in the text. The book will be a good source of valuable information to many students and professionals in the field of physiology, biology, medicine, and pharmacology.
