Human Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology

By THEWS

This book contains an integrated presentation of human anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology. A General Part deals with the functions of the cell and with tissue histology, basic concepts of pathology, transport and excitation processes, and an introduction to medical terminology. A Special Part treats the anatomical structure, the physiological functions and the pathophysiological disorders of the individual organs. The anatomical aspects are considered only as far as they are necessary for the understanding of organ function. The book arises from practical experience in training pharmacists in Germany, where it is a very successful course book, a reflection of the competence and thoroughness of its authors. The book is also unique in its integrated approach in that normal functions and disfunctions of tissues and organs are not dealt with separately, but are closely interrelated. With its didactic purpose in mind in designing the text, every effort has been made to keep the organization easy to follow, the presentation clear, and the figures informative. This special layout and text sequence make it a very usable textbook, already strongly recommended by reviewers.
