Oxford University Human Physiology, Fifth Edition by GILLIAN POCOCK, CHRISTOPHER D. RICHARDS, AND DAVID A. RICHARDS
The human body is a complicated and beautiful machine, governed by the laws of physics and chemistry. By understanding its physiology - how it performs its varied functions - it is possible to build strategies for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. _x000D__x000D_In this latest edition, expanded and restructured coverage of sensory physiology and the respiratory system, a new comprehensive glossary of key terms, and additional online learning resources make Human Physiology even more student-friendly than its predecessors. _x000D__x000D_Human Physiology provides clear explanations of the principles that govern the body's physiological processes and shows how these can be applied. This is the ideal course companion for any student needing a solid foundation in the subject for a future career in human biology, biomedical science, or medicine. _x000D__x000D_Online resources_x000D__x000D_Student resources_x000D_- Numerical and clinical problems _x000D_- Multiple choice questions _x000D_- Web links_x000D__x000D_Lecturer resources_x000D_- Figures from the book_x000D_ Table of Contents:- _x000D_
