Contents:
General principles -- Homeostasis -- Membrane transport -- Cell-to-cell communication -- Signal transduction -- An overview of nerve cell physiology and the autonomic nervous system -- Musculoskeletal physiology -- The neuromuscular junction and skeletal muscle -- Smooth muscle -- Bone physiology -- Blood and lymph -- Blood -- Endothelial function and hemostasis -- The lymphatic system and the immune system -- Cardiovascular physiology -- The vasculature -- The heart as a pump -- The electrical activity of the heart -- Exercise physiology -- Pulmonary physiology -- The mechanics of breathing -- Gas exchange in the lungs -- Gas transport -- The regulation of breathing -- Renal physiology -- Renal functions, renal circulation, and glomerular filtration -- Tubular transport -- The regulation of blood pressure and extracellular fluid volume -- Osmoregulation -- The regulation of potassium balance -- Acid-base homeostasis -- Micturition -- Gastrointestinal physiology -- Nutrition, digestion, and absorption -- Control of gastrointestinal motility and secretion -- Hepatic physiology -- The gastrointestinal immune system -- Endocrine physiology -- The endocrine pancreas : fed and fasted metabolic states -- The pituitary gland -- The thyroid gland -- The adrenal gland -- Hormonal regulation of calcium and phosphate metabolism -- The female reproductive system -- The male reproductive system.
Review: "Written with contributions by medical students, this text delivers a straightforward and clear overview of the major principles, agents, and processes governing human physiology. A unique author team of medical students and experts, with special experience in education and clinical medicine, succeed in raising the standard of communication as compared with typical medical physiology texts." "Concepts in Medical Physiology avoids the long lists of unprioritized information and undefined jargon by presenting fresh concept diagrams and figures alongside clear explanations of quantitative concepts, plus new analogies, metaphors, and much more."--BOOK JACKET.
