Description
This book is designed to provide a concise summary of mammalian and, particularly, of human physiology that medical students and others can use by itself or can supplement with readings in other texts, monographs, and re- views. Pertinent aspects of general and comparative physiology are also included. Summaries of relevant anatomic considerations will be found in each section, but this book is written primarily for those who have some knowledge of anatomy, chemistry, and biochemistry. Examples from clinical medicine are given where pertinent to illustrate physiologic points. In many of the chapters, physicians desiring to use this book as a review will find short discus- sions of important symptoms produced by disordered function.
Review of Medical Physiology also includes a self-study section to help students review for Board and other exami- nations and an appendix that contains general references, a discussion of statistical methods, a glossary of abbrevia- tions, acronyms, and symbols commonly used in physiology, and several useful tables. The index is comprehensive and specifically designed for ease in locating important terms, topics, and concepts.
