Textbook Of Practical Physiology - 2Nd Edn.The Second Edition Of The Book Provides Even More Application Orientation. All The Chapters Have Been Thoroughly Revised. The Information Has Been Brought Up-To-Date By Incorporating The Latest Concepts And Developments In The Subject. Some Of The Chapters That Were Not Strictly Essential For Routine Practicals Have Been Omitted. The Hematology Section Has Been Thoroughly Updated. The Section On Mammalian Physiology Has Been Further Trimmed As Per The Recommendations Of The Mci. A New Chapter 'Clinical Examination Of The Gi System' Has Been Incorporated. |
