The human body is a complicated and beautiful machine, governed by the laws of physics and chemistry. By understanding its physiology--how it performs its varied functions--it is possible to build strategies for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.

Human Physiology, Fourth Edition, provides clear explanations of the principles that govern the body's physiological processes and shows how these can be applied, making it an ideal resource for students interested in pursuing careers in human biology, biomedical science, and medicine.

* New checklists at the end of each chapter highlighting key learning points
* More than 150 additional figures--including original photomicrographs
* A new chapter on basic chemistry
* Updated coverage of the molecular processes involved in cell signaling and cell transport

 
Review:

"This welcomed fourth edition builds upon the positive aspects of previous editions and provides a fresh perspective to a complex area of study. Ease of reading and understanding is a key strength for this text and students will obtain detailed content, balanced with key effective learning tools to enhance knowledge exchange." --Dr Jamie O'Driscoll, Department of Sport Science, Tourism and Leisure, Canterbury Christ Church University

"(About the previous edition) Loads of detail, easy to read and useful summaries at the end of topics. Also laid out in a really comprehensive way." --From Amazon UK

 

作者简介:

Gillian Pocock read Physiology at the University of Oxford before moving to Kings' College London to study for her PhD under the supervision of P.F. Baker. She held a post-doctoral position at Kings' College before taking up an appointment in the Department of Physiology, Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine. She is now Senior Lecturer in Clinical Science in The Department of Health, Wellbeing and Family, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK. Her research interests have focussed on the role of calcium in secretion and pH regulation in neurons. Christopher Richards read Biological Chemistry at the University of Bristol. He completed his PhD in the Department of Zoology, University of Bristol, under the supervision of P.C. Caldwell before taking up a position at the Institute of Psychiatry in London. He subsequently moved to the National Institute for Medical Research where he was a member of the scientific staff. He later held posts in the Departments of Physiology at the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine and University College London where he is currently Emeritus Professor of Experimental Physiology. He has published over 100 scientific articles, chiefly on the physiology and pharmacology of nerve cells. David Richards studied biochemistry at the University of Bristol before beginning his PhD at the National Institute for Medical Research and University College, London under the supervision of T.V.P. Bliss. He has held postdoctoral positions at the University of Colorado Medical Center, the University of Zurich Brain Research Institute, and the University of Wisconsin Medical School. He has held faculty positions at the University of Cincinnati Medical School, and is currently Assistant Professor at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. His research focuses on the cell biology that supports synaptic transmission.
