6 edition. — Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd, 2012. — 1092 p. — ISBN10: 9350259362. — ISBN13: 978-9350259368.This textbook is designed to equip students with the background in physiology required for medical practice or for further study in the biomedical sciences. It provides treatments of the fundamental principles of general and organ system-specific physiology and the complexities of integrative physiology.
This edition is enriched with addition of many more flow charts, tables and descriptive diagrams to make the subject matter easier and approachable for all class of students. Many chapters are upgraded as per the suggestions from our colleagues and fellow teachers from various institutes and universities in and out of India. Key Features Encompasses the knowledge of basic principles of physiology and applied physiology in each system. Divided into 11 sections starting with general physiology, then describing physiology of muscles, digestive system, renal, skin, endocrinology, reproductive, cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems. Applied physiology, clinical importance and altered situations in pediatrics, geriatrics and pregnancy have been well brought out. This edition is thoroughly revised and updated with latest advances in molecular biology, cardiovascular, muscle physiology, and gastrointestinal topics. Enriched with addition of many more flow charts, tables and more than 400 coloured descriptive diagrams to make subject comprehension and revision easy. List of topics given at the beginning of each chapter provide a brief outline of what to expect from that chapter. Long and short questions given at the end of each chapter will be very helpful for exam preparations.General Physiology.
