Medical Physiology is a new, full-color, comprehensive textbook designed for modern medical school courses in human physiology. The most up-to-date and beautifully illustrated text on the market, it has a strong molecular and cellular approach, firmly relating the molecular and cellular biological underpinnings of physiology to the study of human physiology and disease. Contributions from leading physiologists ensure authoritative, cutting-edge information, and thorough and consistent editing have produced 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 summarize important experimental and clinical material.

Cannot think of a better text book for First year medical students (for Physiology) and for Physiology undergrads. Very descriptive and very easy to understand. Latest research included so very upto date. Worth the price. I recommend this book for any undergrad physio student or even for the first year medical students.
