Easy to read and user-friendly, the revised fourth edition stresses essential and relevant content with absolute clarity and includes concise step-by-step explanations complemented by numerous tables and abundant illustrations. It provides information on the underlying principles of cellular physiology, the autonomic nervous system, and neurophysiology, as well as the cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, acid-base, gastrointestinal, endocrine, and reproductive organ systems. This book is ideal as both a textbook and as a review guide for the boards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Physiologie wird begreifbar!
Reviewed in Germany on 1 September 2013

In der Vorklinik tat ich mich schwer mit Physiologie. Zwar habe ich das Physikum auf Anhieb verstanden, aber ich selbst war immer unzufrieden mit meinen Physiologie-Kenntnissen.

Erst viel später im Studium - als ich angefangen habe für das Amerikanische USMLE zu lernen - bin ich auf dieses Buch gestoßen. Es ist sehr ausführlich und man braucht durchaus viel Zeit um es zu lesen, aber es lohnt sich: Die Organe werden Stück für Stück in einer so bildlichen Sprache erklärt, dass man wirklich die Aufgaben und Funktionsweise der Organe versteht. Zum ersten Mal konnte ich mir Physiologie bildhaft vorstellen. Und plötzlich fand ich es einfach, mir die Sachverhalte zu merken, denn sie waren nicht mehr so abstrakt.

Ich wünschte, mir hätte jemand dieses Buch schon in der Vorklinik empfohlen. Mir wäre Vieles so viel einfacher gefallen!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for medical school
Reviewed in the United States on 20 May 2011

I'm a first year medical student and used this book for our physiology class after trying the one the professors recommended and hating it. Constanzo was recommended to me by a second year student and they were spot on. Things are organized in a very logical way and combined with the clear explanations made things very easy for me to understand. Our recommended course text on the other hand was very dense and often explained concepts in a way that was much more complicated than necessary, so Constanzo saved me. Since each section is an easy read and not that lengthy it was also easy for me to read Constanzo on top of the rest of my course work, it was never too time-consuming to do. And I did really well in phys so this book definitely paid off for me. I also liked that there are a lot of diagrams all in color and good summary tables throughout. There's also a bit on pathophysiology at the end of each section giving a good introduction to some of the main renal, CV, etc. conditions. Finally because the book is only ~500 pages from cover to cover it's less than an inch thick and doesn't weight that much so I could easily carry it around with me to study out of without feeling like I just put a brick into my bag. I can easily see why Constanzo is so popular both as a textbook for courses and for board review (with the smaller BRS physiology version). I definitely recommend this book for medical students.

アメリカでかなり売れていると評判のコスタンゾ生理学の第4版である．第3版がわかりやすく，丁寧で，図版がきれいだったので，翻訳までしてしまったので，第4版ではどうなっているだろう，とページをめくってみた．

全く同じである．違いは消化器で肝生理学が2ページほど加わっただけである．ま，そんなにがっかりもしない．もともとわかりやすさで売っていた教科書である．通読するには非常によい．神経生理学が軽いのは同じである．神経生理は神経科学の教科書を読むと良いと思う．もう第3版で完成しているのかもしれない．
