Physiology Secrets

by Hershel Raff

Book Overview

Physiology Secrets, 2nd Edition is a good balance of basic physiology and clinical applications with comprehensive coverage of physiology. As basic science courses are increasingly becoming problem-based, with an emphasis on clinical applications of basic science principles, the Secrets approach is ideally suited to present this kind of information. In its basic Q & A format, this approach is also especially well suited to focusing on the key...

The points you might otherwise miss

Anyone studying physiology has gone through the frustration of learning some complex pathway, but never understanding its significance. Physiology Secrets steps up that understanding by posing questions about many of the big points that are often missed. The question and answer format is wonderful for sparking thought on each subject, and the concise yet detailed answers give students what they need to assess their level of understanding. It's too dense a book to read all at once, but is excellent to use while studying a particular organ system or mechanism.

Great Book

With the help of this book, I went from failing physiology to "honoring" every physiology test since. I can't stress enough how much Physiology Secrets helped out. It's like having your own personal tutor asking you key questions and then explaining the answers completely and clearly. If I were a professor of Physiology, I would make this required reading. Too bad, this book is now out of print. Try to get your copy while you can.

Physiology secrets is both quick and textbook-detailed.

This book does a great job of presenting the core material of medical physiology along with some subtle nuances that most students do not have time to learn. I would recomend this book to any medical students that want to master physiological medicine without wasting time or missing the relevance of the material to clinical practice.Excelent, as quick as a review book, but as detailed as a textbook.
