Vander's human physiology : the mechanisms of body function / Human physiology Eric P. Widmaier, Hershel Raff, Kevin T. Strang. - Fourteenth edition - xxv, 697, A-22, C-1, GI-38 pages : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 28 cm.
Originally published: New York, McGraw-Hill, [1970]
Includes appendices, glossary and index.
Homeostasis: a framework for human physiology -- Chemical composition of the body -- Cellular structure, proteins, and metabolism -- Movement of molecules across cell membranes -- Control of cells by chemical messengers -- Neuronal signaling and the structure of the nervous system -- Sensory physiology -- Consciousness, the brain, and behavior -- Muscle -- Control of body movement -- The endocrine system -- Cardiovascular physiology -- Respiratory physiology -- The kidneys and regulation of water and inorganic ions -- The digestion and absorption of food -- Regulation of organic metabolism and energy balance -- Reproduction -- The immune system -- Medical physiology: integration using clinical cases
Eric Widmaier (Boston University), Hershel Raff (Medical College of Wisconsin), and Kevin Strang (University of Wisconsin) have taken on the challenge of maintaining the strengths and reputation of this book. Moving beyond the listing of mere facts, it stresses the causal chains of events that constitute the mechanisms of body function. The fundamental purpose of this textbook is to present the principles and facts of human physiology in a format that is suitable for undergraduates regardless of academic background or field of study. This thirteenth edition, carries on the tradition of clarity and accuracy, while refining and updating the content to meet the needs of today's instructors and students. The thirteenth edition features a streamlined, clinically oriented focus to the study of human body systems. It has also responded to reviewer requests for more clinical applications. Physiology Inquiries are maintained throughout the chapters. These critical-thinking questions associated with figures are just one more opportunity to add to the student.s learning experience
