Gastroenterologists require detailed knowledge regarding the
anatomy of the GI system in order to understand the
disturbances caused by diseases they diagnose and treat.
Gastrointestinal Anatomy and Physiology will bring together the
world’s leading names to present a comprehensive overview of
the anatomical and physiological features of the gastrointestinal
tract.
Full colour and with excellent anatomical and clinical figures
throughout, it will provide succinct, authoritative and didactic
anatomic and physiologic information on all the key areas,
including GI motility, hepatic structure, GI hormones, gastric
secretion and absorption of nutrients.
GI trainees will enjoy the self-assessment MCQs, written
to the level they will encounter during their Board exams,
and the seasoned gastroenterologist will value it as a handy
reference book and refresher for re-certification exams
