Overview

"Medical Physiology’s trump card has to be the unparalleled detailed and colourful annotated illustrations and tables which are...indispensable in conceptualising complex pathways" (Medical Student Review)

The updated 2nd edition of this accessible and in-depth resource firmly relates molecular and cellular biology to the study of human physiology and disease. Leading physiologists present you with practical, accurate coverage, continually emphasising the clinical implications of the material. Each chapter explains the principles and organisation of each body system, clarifying every concept. This exceptionally detailed and comprehensive guide to physiology is ideal for a rich, straightforward, state-of-the-art understanding of this essential subject.

  • Provides clinical examples of disordered physiology in prominent boxes throughout the text for at-a-glance access to important content.
  • Clarifies concepts with the use of 800 color drawings that feature balloon captions explaining key processes.
  • Presents material in a consistent style to make the text readable and easy to understand.
  • Offers a practical organization by body system for an intuitive and accessible approach to physiology.
  • Bonus online access to Student Consult gives you integration links, full searchable text, downloadable images, animations, 150 review questions, and supplemental web notes for more detailed information
  • Keeps you current with updated material, including a new chapter on Physiology of Aging and a new section on haemostasis
  • Offers the latest visual guidance with revised and updated artwork
