Plant Physiology has been praised for its excellent balance of traditional and modern topics, presented in a straightforward style, without overwhelming undergraduates with excessive detail. Its focus is on the ideas and experimental approaches in plant physiology. This is a one-semester course. It assumes that the student has had introductory biology or botany as a pre-requisite.

ACSM's Advanced Exercise Physiology

by: American College of Sports Medicine
publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, published: 2005-10-20
ASIN: 0781747260
EAN: 9780781747264
sales rank: 25853

Written by international experts in physiology, exercise physiology, and research, ACSM's Advanced Exercise Physiology gives students an advanced level of understanding of exercise physiology. It emphasizes the acute and chronic effects of exercise on various physiological systems in adults and the integrative nature of these physiological responses.

Chapters detail how different body systems respond to exercise. Systems include nervous, skeletal, muscular, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, metabolic, endocrine, immune, renal, and hematopoietic systems. Additional chapters explain how these responses are altered by heat, cold, hypoxia, microgravity, bed rest, and hyperbaria. Milestones of Discovery pages describe classic or memorable experiments in exercise physiology.

Concepts in Medical Physiology

by: Julian Seifter
publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, published: 2005-10-06
ASIN: 078174489X
EAN: 9780781744898
sales rank: 45063

Written through a collaboration of expert faculty and medical students from Harvard Medical School, this innovative text delivers a straightforward and clear overview of the major principles, agents, and processes governing human physiology. Emphasis is on understanding the higher-order processes in each organ system. Concepts in Medical Physiology avoids long lists of unprioritized information and undefined jargon by presenting fresh concept diagrams and figures alongside clear explanations of quantitative concepts. It can function equally well as a primary resource or as a review. Eight major sections, comprising a total of 36 chapters, cover general principles, muscle and bone, blood and the immune system, cardiovascular physiology, pulmonary physiology, renal physiology, gastrointestinal physiology, and endocrine physiology.

Many useful features simplify mastery of difficult concepts:

Case studies for each major section present detailed cases with signs and symptoms, history, and laboratory data. Questions at the conclusion of each case reinforce important clinical concepts.

Reviews of cell biology, basic science, and biochemistry refresh students on the foundations of physiological knowledge.

Clinical Application boxes draw the connection between physiology to practical issues students face and help with preparation for the USMLE.

Pathophysiology sections are featured in every chapter.

Review questions with answers in each chapter aid in preparation for the examination.

Integrative Physiology inserts highlight how specific systems, organs, and tissues work together.

More than 350 illustrations aid with visual learning, including original schematic diagrams, photos, and tables.

Concept-focused summaries conclude each chapter for more effective learning and review.

Suggested readings in every chapter provide a valuable resource for further investigation in physiological and clinical ideas.
