Master the fundamentals of medical physiology with this case-based text!
Fundamentals of Medical Physiology provides a concise, in-depth introduction by organ system to the principles of body function and uses emphasis on general models and clinical cases to foster mastery of these principles.
Special features include:
- An emphasis on general models that underlie a number of recurring physiologic mechanisms — for example, flow of substances and the factors that affect flow or energy formation and transformation — to strengthen understanding
- Use of clinical cases — developed, refined, and tested in the classroom over the past decade — to test mastery of physiologic concepts
- Section-opening Patient Cases conclude with Some Things to Think About to help direct your study of the physiologic mechanisms of that organ system
- Chapter Questions ask you to apply what you have learned in that chapter to building an understanding of the case
- Answers to chapter questions allow you to check your understanding and direct further review
- A comprehensive Case Analysis with ‘cause-and-effect’ diagrams reviews in detail the physiology behind the case
- Access via scratch-off code to all the cases in your book — plus additional clinical cases — with questions and answers and case analysis to enable convenient online review and testing
Specifically designed for the first- and second-year medical student, this innovative text — ideal as a study aid for the USMLE — provides the tools needed to learn and apply physiology to medical practice.
