An up-to-date resource for bioscience students focusing on the essentials of human physiology and their importance for biological control systems
Essential Human Physiology for Biosciences is a comprehensive textbook describing the structure and most important functions of the systems of the human body, and the control mechanisms governing cells, organs, and systems. Organized by systems across 14 chapters, the book highlights key physiological principles, essential techniques, and the historical contributions of pioneering scientists in the field.
The book explains the mechanisms of dysfunction that can lead to disease and bridges foundational knowledge with applied understanding. It demystifies complex physiological terms and concepts and the applied aspects of physiology necessary for understanding the function of systems.
In this comprehensive new textbook, readers will find:
- Standalone chapters organised by human body systems for ease of navigation
- Comprehensive explorations of the essentials of each system
- Essential roles of multiple systems in regulating stress, sleep, shock, temperature, acid/base and exercise
- Multiple appendices, including normal physiological values, formulae, and lists of abbreviations
- Accurate discussions of physiology basics that bridge the gap between fundamentals and applied understanding
- Historical bases for the development of physiological knowledge of the human body
Perfect for students of human physiology, pharmacology, biomedical sciences, anatomy and biochemistry. It will also benefit students of physiotherapy, podiatry, sports science, midwifery, nursing, dentistry and medicine.
