Levick's Introduction to Cardiovascular Physiology
Author: Neil HerringPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1498739911
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 917
Book Description
A sound knowledge of cardiovascular physiology is fundamental to understanding cardiovascular disease, exercise performance and may other aspects of human physiology. Cardiovascular physiology is a major component of all undergraduate courses in physiology, biomedical science and medicine, and this popular introduction to the subject is intended primarily for these students. A key feature of this sixth edition is how state-of-the-art technology is applied to understanding cardiovascular function in health and disease. Thus the text is also well suited to graduate study programmes in medicine and physiological sciences.

Book Description
The structure, function, and pathologies of the human kidney -- simplified and explained A Doody's Core Title for 2011! 4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW! "This seventh edition of a concise, well written book on renal physiology continues the legacy of the book as a major contributor in the field....This well written book is an excellent review of renal function and is one of the best concise reviews of the topic."--Doody's Review Service Written in a concise, conversational style, this trusted text reviews the fundamental principles of renal physiology that are essential for an understanding of clinical medicine. Combining the latest research with a fully integrated teaching approach, Vander's Renal Physiology explains how the kidneys affect other body systems and how they in turn are affected by these systems. Filled with the learning tools you need to truly learn key concepts rather than merely memorize facts, Vander's will prove valuable to you at every stage of your studies or practice. Features: New Global case studies New An online physiology learning center that offers additional exam questions, artwork, and graphs Offers the best review of renal physiology available for the USMLE Step 1 Begins with the basics and works up to advanced principles Distills the essence of renal processes and their regulation in a concise, integrated manner that focuses on the logic of renal processes Features learning aids such as flow charts, diagrams, key concepts, clinical examples, learning objectives, and review questions with answers and explanations Explains the relationship between blood pressure and renal function Presents the normal functions of the kidney with clinical correlations to disease states Includes the most current research on the molecular and genetic principles underlying renal physiology
Netter's Integrated Musculoskeletal System
Author: Peter J. WardPublisher: Elsevier Health Sciences
ISBN: 0323696627
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
Netter's Integrated Musculoskeletal System is an innovative new text that brings together basic science material from several domains, providing a solid foundation prior to delving into topics of increasing complexity and clinical importance —all highlighted by superb Netter illustrations throughout. Initial chapters give a general overview of the human body, while the remaining chapters examine all facets of the musculoskeletal system, the injuries that affect it at the macroscopic and microscopic levels, and the process of development. As the scientific content becomes more complex, the clinical correlations become more specific. This progressively constructed narrative guides readers efficiently and effectively through the intricacies of the musculoskeletal system in a way that is easy to understand and remember—all in a single, time-saving resource for busy students. Takes an integrated approach including gross anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, neuroscience, histology, and other relevant sciences to better help readers understand the musculoskeletal system. Presents essential content in an easy-to-understand manner, puts it in context, and then elaborates on it with more detail—making connections between content areas and reducing the need for multiple study resources. Features clinical correlations boxes throughout; includes an appendix of commonly-used eponyms to help readers communicate across disciplines and an appendix of Latin/Greek/Arabic roots for anatomical terms. Designed to be used effectively in longitudinally-designed, integrated curricula—for a wide range of health-science students—with carefully organized, concise reading assignments and discrete areas of study for each lesson.

Book Description
Present the fundamental principles and facts of human physiology in a format that is suitable for undergraduate students regardless of academic backgrounds or fields of study. The most significant feature of this text is its clear and accurate descriptions of mechanisms, rather than mere descriptions of facts and events. As evidence, the book employs numerous flow diagrams that illustrate clearly defined chains of casual links. The text's theme reflects the dominant theme of human physiology; homeostasis. Each body system is approached from the vantage point of homeostasis as achieved through the coordinated functions of homeostatic control systems.
