  Physiology is a comprehensive, accurate, up-to-date, and authoritative textbook of human physiology. An emphasis is placed on fundamental mechanisms and concepts and individual concepts are presented via an organ systems approach, clearly describing all mechanisms that control and regulate function. Key experimental observations and examples are included for students who want a better understanding of the body's dynamic process. Clinical relevancy has been enhanced with the addition of shaded boxes highlighting clinical correlations. New pedagogical features include essay questions and a 250-item multiple choice USMLE-type exam. Features: * Emphasizes fundamental mechanisms and concepts rather than isolated facts--the bottom line information. * Key experimental observations and examples are included, for the student who wants a better understanding of the body's dynamic processes. * Presents individual concepts via an organ systems approach, clearly describing all mechanisms that control and regulate functions. * Covers all the hot topics in physiology, such as membrane transport, neurotransmitters, cell and molecular biology, and more.

  The new 3rd edition of Physiology provides an accurate, comprehensive and authoritative approach to physiology in a format that is based on the needs of students today. Emphasis is placed on fundamental mechanisms and concepts rather than rote memorization of isolated facts. Individual concepts are presented via an organ system approach, clearly describing all mechanisms that control and regulate functions. The book includes: an expanded discussion of membrane transport and ionic transport pathways; revisions to the central nervous, renal, cardiovascular and respiratory sections; incorporation of newer concepts from cellular and molecular physiology into classical organ systems chapters; the neurology section now has more emphasis on autonomics as a control system; up-to-date information on neuro-transmitters and receptors; and clearer explanations of clearance and urine concentration.
