Textbook Of Human Physiology For Dental Students

Second edition of Textbook of Human Physiology for Dental Students has been thoroughly revised and updated in view of the advances in this field without changing its general organization. In this book core and applied aspects of human physiology have been skillfully intermingled to enable students to apply their learning in clinical situations. Tailor-made for BDS students as per the requirements laid down by the Dental Council of India (DCI). Text organized in such a way that the students can easily understand, retain and reproduce it. Various levels of headings, subheadings, boldface and italics to help in quick revision of the subject. Black and white figures replaced by coloured ones and each section presented in a different colour format to enhance lucidity of the book. Brief introduction to the relevant functional anatomy preceding the description of the physiological aspects in each section for better understanding of the subject. In order to emphasize the clinical significance of physiology relevant applied aspects have been covered adequately in each chapter. Essential aspects of the text have been highlighted in separate boxes.

Essential Physiology for Dental Students offers comprehensive information on human physiology, tailored to the needs of students of dentistry. This new addition to the Dentistry Essentials series helps students gain a deeper understanding of how physiological concepts apply to clinical dental practice. Each chapter outlines an organ system in sufficient detail whilst emphasizing its relevance to clinical dentistry. Written in a student-friendly style, it contextualizes how normal and altered physiology affects dental care and highlights the implications of dental interventions on the body’s functioning. Essential Physiology for Dental Students provides readers with complete coverage of: cell physiology; nerve and muscle physiology; the cardiovascular system; the respiratory system; the gastro-intestinal system; the renal system; haematology; endocrinology including the regulation of blood glucose and blood calcium; and the central nervous system. Covers each system in detail, while emphasizing the relevance to dental students Presented using a reader-friendly layout with illustrations and clinical photographs throughout Features interactive MCQs and EMQs and downloadable images on a companion website Essential Physiology for Dental Students is an excellent resource for undergraduate dentistry students, dental hygiene and therapy students, and dental nursing students. It also greatly benefits newly qualified dentists preparing for postgraduate examinations such as MFDS, LDS, ORE, and also the US National Boards.

This comprehensive textbook provides a thorough introduction to human physiology, with a focus on dental applications. From the workings of the nervous system to the complexities of the cardiovascular system, this book covers all aspects of human physiology relevant to dental students. Written in an accessible and engaging style, this book is a must-have for anyone studying or practicing dentistry.

Physiology for Dental Students presents a combined view of physiological mechanisms and physiological systems. It discusses the oral importance of basic physiology. It addresses physiological principles and specific types of cells. Some of the topics covered in the book are the movements of materials across cell membranes; the fluid compartments of the body; the major storage of body water; histological and ultrastructural appearance of the salivary glands; the secretion of substances into the urine in the kidney; and the total osmotic activity of plasma. The morphology of the red blood cells is fully covered. The factors necessary for red blood cell development is discussed in detail. The text describes in depth the mechanical properties of smooth muscle. The process of breathing and the elasticity of lungs are presented completely. A chapter is devoted to the parts of the central nervous system. The book can provide useful information to dentists, doctors, students, and researchers.

This thoroughly revised, up-to-date text addresses the fundamental principles of physiology in a format that would be particularly useful for the undergraduate dental students. Due to its simple and concise presentation, it would also be useful to other allied health professionals. The book would help students prepare for their examinations apart from understanding the physiological basis of diseases. Two additional chapters on Large Intestine and Digestion and Absorption included All chapters thoroughly revised and updated Numerous new illustrations and flowcharts added for clear understanding of the physiological concepts Text boxes included to highlight important topics Learning objectives, chapter summary, and review questions have been included in every chapter for the benefit of students Updated special write-up on Understanding Medical Terminology included to facilitate easy grasp of common medical terms

The textbook is meticulously designed and written in simple language. It is very well supplemented with over 800 diagrams, 66 images, 63 tables, 57 flowcharts and summaries for easy learning. Frequently asked long answer questions have been elaborately covered, in addition to relevant applied physiology. This is the most comprehensive and an ideal textbook for dental students.
