Emile Boulpaep, MD, Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT
Description
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 emphasizing the clinical implications of
the material. Each chapter explains the principles and organization of each body system, while more than 800 high-quality, full-color
line drawings and prominently featured clinical examples clarify 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.
Audience
Undergraduate and Graduate students in human physiology; Medical students in Physiology
