This is one of a series of ten workbooks which are designed to supplement texts in anatomy and physiology, serving as a quick and efficient study review for nursing and allied health students, or to supplement other courses that cover the body's systems. Each book covers one system of the body, with this text looking at the digestive system. The series consists of labelled images, accompanied by descriptive text and exercises.
Organized by chapter, students will find Chapter Overviews that link the chapter to homeostasis,Chapter Outlines, Key Terms, and Review Exercises. This learning resource also offers Points to Ponder questions designed to stimulate use of material in the chapter as a starting point for critical thinking that guides the student to further learning. Clinical Perspectives, common applications of the physiology under consideration, and Experiments of the Day, simple hands-on activities, further enhance the learning process.
Cardiovascular Physiology by: Robert M. Berne MD, Matthew N. Levy MD, Matthew N. Levy, Robert M. Berne publisher: Mosby, published: 2001-01-15 ISBN: 0323011276 sales rank: 465944
Product Description
Part of Mosby's successful monograph series, Cardiovascular Physiology presents fundamental concepts clearly and concisely. Students gain a solid understanding on how the cardiovascular system functions in both health and disease. Throughout, excellent illustrations and consistent pedagogical features focus student learning. In addition, the clinical commentaries help students apply what they've learned to real-life clinical situations.
Review The merchandise was in excellent condition and arrived very promptly. I would reccommend this seller to everyone in a heart beat. Excellent customer service!!!
Benefit of this book is only if you do not have the physiology book by the same author or if you want to carry around a section of the huge book. By itself the book is very clear in explaning cardiac cycles and rest of the hemodynamics. Hearth sounds forget it, ECG or ECG graphs, forget it but whatever is explained is explained in easy terms whit some nice diagrams/figures.It is expensive book per page compared to physiology book.
This book has a lot of useful information but could be a little more reader-friendlyOne word of warning - the entire content of this book is to be found word-for-word in section IV of the Berne & Levy textbook "Physiology". Don't make the mistake I made and buy them both !
Exercise Physiology in Special Populations covers the prevalent health conditions that are either linked to an inactive lifestyle or whose effects can be ameliorated by increasing physical activity and physical fitness. The book explores physiological aspects of obesity and diabetes before moving on to cardiac disease, lung disease, arthritis and back pain, ageing and older people, bone health, the female participant, neurological and neuromuscular disorders, and spinal chord injury. The author team includes many of the UK's leading researchers and exercise science and rehabilitation practitioners that specialise in each of the topic areas.

High Altitude Medicine and Physiology by: John B. West, Robert B. Schoene, James S. Milledge publisher: A Hodder Arnold Publication, published: 2007-06-14 ISBN: 0340913444 sales rank: 690874
Product Description
More than half a century has passed since man first stood on the summit of Mount Everest, and the story of man's attempts to climb higher and higher unaided is one of the more colorful and exciting in medicine and physiology. The past few decades have seen an explosion in interest in mountain pursuits in general, as increasing numbers of people take to the mountains for day trips and on longer excursions. As a result, doctors face ever-expanding challenges in dealing with the changes in human physiology and particular medical conditions that arise from exposure to altitude. Building on the success and reputation of previous editions, the fourth edition of High Altitude Medicine and Physiology includes major changes in the scientific content, with updates in many areas. The area of genetics has assumed great importance, along with other advances in molecular biology and medicine, and these are incorporated throughout the text. There are also new or improved sections on women and children at high altitude, the role of vascular endothelial growth factor, neurological disorders at high altitude, athletic training using high altitude, high altitude pulmonary edema, and the problems of patients with pre-existing diseases. Other new features include summary boxes highlighting important concepts, and increased tabulation of key data for rapid reference. While the authors have added much new material, they have also prudently trimmed down the existing material so that the text is still easily manageable and accessible in this fourth edition. High Altitude Medicine and Physiology remains invaluable reading for any doctor accompanying an expedition to--or advising patients on a visit to--a high altitude area, and for those physicians and physiologists who study our dependence on oxygen.
Review This book was very good. More for medical or physiologist, but could be interesting for anyone. This is the source for high altitude physiology.
This book contains an list of abbreviations that lacks a few entries, but doesn't have a glossary. It is therefore an excellent supplement to "Going Higher: Oxygen Man and Mountains," since it contains some medical terms that are explained in "Going Higher," along with some that aren't. This is understandable since "High Altitude Medecine..." is designed for medical students. Nonetheless once past the medical terminology, it can be grasped by a any bright literate person. Best of all it is half the price of any comparable book.
Basic information in the life sciences. What nonscientists -- and scientists -- need to know to improve their health and to be literate in today's complex world of science. DNA fingerprinting, caloric requirements, heart disease, dietary advice, genetic engineering, cancer -- all explained in an easy-to-understand book.
