It's an ideal text for a basic understanding of physiology, as an overview of the subject, or as a supplement to lectures. Uses beautifully clear drawings and diagrams from the Netter collection to teach key points quickly, effectively, and memorably. Contains "light bulb" boxes that use memorable details or examples to foster "a-ha learning moments.

Features new illustrations for GI physiology, and updated figures throughout to better reflect the diversity in human populations. Contains more practice questions per section. Provides video tutorials that explain challenging but essential physiology concepts. An eBook version is included with purchase.
