Physiology and Anatomy: A Homeostatic Approach provides a modern approach to understanding how the human body functions in health and disease. Based on systems, the text uses homeostatic principles as a unique guiding concept throughout all the chapters.
The format and content of this second edition facilitate the learning of human physiology by providing a framework for learning that takes the reader through 'basic' structure and function to more complex issues of clinical disorder and health care practice.
