Physiology

By K.W. Barron, Roger Thies, K.W. Barron

This review covers the major systems of human physiology. The review is not ex- haustive; it assumes that the student has completed a course in human physiology and wishes to refresh their memory in preparing for an examination. The student is advised to refer to a competent textbook several times in this review. This book is a revised version of a review book used by our medical students for over ten years. Coverage of the various topics in physiology is comparable to the percentage of questions on those topics in recent National Board, Part I examinations. Review questions follow every few pages of text in order to monitor your under- standing of the just preceding material. The multiple choice questions are mainly of the two conventional types; "single best answer" questions, for which you choose the single best answer, and "multiple correct answer" questions, for which you choose the one or more correct alternatives. The two multiple choice formats have been standardized throughout the book.

Coherent Yet Manageable

I used this text for a medical school physiology course, and found it to be a very good compromise between a textbook and a review book. If you're in medical school, you know that you don't have time to read a textbook. Still, most review books opt for outlines, charts and tables, and some concepts take a bit more full-sentence explaining. Each section in this book (e.g., renal physiology, respiratory physiology) can be digested in about 2 hours, and you'll learn more than if you sit down to read a review book and try to fill in the blanks yourself. The Oklahoma Notes books are especially good to read at the beginning of your deep studying prior to course exams.
