Back to Basics In Physiology: Electrolytes and Non-electrolyte Solutes in the Body exploits the gap that exists in current physiology books. Instead of tackling one particular organ system at a time, the authors tackle specific problems and then evaluate their repercussions on systemic physiology. With the exploding amount of basic science information that is available today to physiology students (undergraduate, nursing, physician associate or medical), there is more and more of a disconnect between the basic sciences and the clinical sciences. This book provides a bridge that allows students to understand basic science and its direct translation to the clinical setting, with the final aim of comprehending the basic science that is behind the clinical observations. The book allows students to gain sufficient background knowledge of physiology and its direct application to clinical skills because they are being written as lectures, in day-to-day language that is easy to comprehend. This original, six chapter book briefly reviews and integrates the basic concepts behind the function of electrolytes in the body. Exploits the gap that exists in current physiology books, tackling specific problems and evaluating their repercussions on systemic physiology Provides a bridge for the basic understanding of science and its direct translation to the clinical setting Interspersed with clinical correlates and key facts, highlighting direct patient care issues to help improve understanding and retention Ideal physiology reference for physiology students, including graduate and undergraduate students, nursing students, physician associate students, and medical students
