Product description
Review
- Medical Student, University of Glasgow, UK
“Clearly links the molecular and cellular biological foundations of physiology to organ-system physiology, as well as its aberrations that become disease. Designed to show ‘expertise of a multi-author book with the consistency of a single pen’ the editors sought Yale professors of physiology and then recast their manuscripts into uniform style to become a reliable resource for medical students. The excellent color illustrations can reduce the need for additional hand-outs.

The textbook has been a very valuable aid in studying physiology for me, with very clear and detailed diagrams and not too much extraneous content. How useful you find it will depend on your specific course but overall this is one of the best beginner to intermediate level physiology texts for students.
