Medical Physiology

A Cellular and Molecular Approach

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Medical Physiology is a brand new comprehensive textbook of human physiology, superbly illustrated and designed for modern medical school courses in physiology.It is the most current text on the market, with a strong molecular and cellular approach, firmly relating the molecular and cellular biological underpinnings of physiology to the study of human physiology and disease. This is an edited book with contributions from leading physiologists, but the text has been thoroughly edited to produce a readable and student-friendly text.
The most current, accurate, and readable text of human physiology available, written by experts in the field.
Carefully edited to ensure consistency of style throughout. Superbly illustrated with more than 800 high-quality, full-color line drawings.
Features dialogue balloons in most illustrations that "tell the story," serving as a useful review tool for students.Includes both technical and clinical boxes to summarizeimportant experimental and clinicalmaterial.
