A concise, clinically oriented overview of physiology

Physiology is the scientific study of the functions and mechanisms which work within a living system.

As a sub-discipline of biology, the focus of physiology is on how organisms, organ systems, organs, cells, and biomolecules carry out the chemical and physical functions that exist in a living system.

Central to an understanding of physiological functioning is the investigation of the fundamental biophysical and biochemical phenomena, the coordinated homeostatic control mechanisms, and the continuous communication between cells.

Medical Physiology: A Systems Approach offers a succinct yet thorough overview of physiology along with an introduction to basic science principles and their relevance to the clinical expression of disease.

The app reflects medical education’s increased emphasis on providing students with more clinically oriented content during their first two years of medical school and the importance of the essential concepts of pathophysiology. Focused and clearly written, Medical Physiology: A Systems Approach details the major physiological processes involved in both health and disease.

Each chapter begins with a list of Objectives, includes Key Concepts, and ends with Study Questions designed to test your knowledge of major concepts covered in that chapter. Most chapters also include Clinical Correlations that reinforce the major physiological principles covered and illustrate their importance to understanding disease states.

Essentials of Medical Physiology highlights essential and relevant content of physiology with absolute clarity and includes concise step-by-step explanations complemented by numerous tables and abundant illustrations. The text has been organized systematically into eleven sections: General Physiology, Nerve Muscle Physiology, Blood and Immune System, Cardiovascular System, Respiratory System, Excretory System, Gastrointestinal System, Endocrinal System, Reproductive System, Nervous System and Special Senses. Each section has been subdivided into various chapters.

This app fulfills the needs of medical as well as dental students. Its conciseness makes it the preferred book for students of alternative medical sciences (Ayurveda, Homeopathy, etc.) and allied health sciences. This app will also be very useful for students pursuing Masters in Physiology.
