Lecture Notes: Human Physiology

Thoroughly revised and updated by a new international team of authors, the fifth edition of Lecture Notes: Human Physiology provides a practical, no–nonsense approach to physiology. The simple structure and systems–based approach remain, with a new clean layout for ease of reading and colour now incorporated to aid understanding. The new edition features more pathophysiology, a new chapter on pain and re–structured material on the cardiovascular system to provide a clear and accessible presentation of the principles underlying this broad subject.
