The long-awaited second edition of \u003cb\u003eEssentials of Human Physiology \u003c\/b\u003epresents concepts in physiology in a way that prepares students for their subsequent study of pathophysiology, pharmacology, and pharmacotherapeutics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThoroughly revised and updated, this text maintains the clarity of the first edition, yet provides important new information to give students a solid grounding in some of the most important aspects of pharmacy. As with the first edition, the book begins with an overview of the fundamental aspects of cell membrane physiology with particular emphasis on nerve cell function. This is followed by a detailed discussion of the two major regulatory systems in the body: the nervous system and the endocrine system. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book then continues with in-depth presentations of the reproductive, muscular, cardiovascular, immune, respiratory, digestive, and renal systems. An important focus throughout the text is how tissue and organ function are regulated in order to maintain homeostasis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew in This Edition:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e· \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll 19 chapters updated and expanded\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e· \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRevised and additional subsections of pharmacy applications\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e· \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew sections on medical terms with pronunciations and definitions\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e· \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew chapters on the reproductive and immune systems\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e· \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAdditional figures and tables to clarify information\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was written by Laurie Kelly McCorry, a professor of physiology for eighteen years. Using simple, straightforward language, the text presents the science of physiology clearly so that undergraduate students will understand the relevance of these concepts as they relate to the practice of pharmacy. By studying and mastering the principles in this text, students will develop a secure foundation in human physiology so that they are better equipped to meet the challenges in their pharmacy career.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45565212623086,"sku":"9781420043907","price":321.3,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781420043907.jpg?v=1720676624","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/essentials-of-human-physiology-for-pharmacy-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
