Dealing with comparative physiology with major focus on human physiology, this book stresses fundamental concepts to give a firm grounding in physiology. Beginning with foundations of physiology, the book discusses physiologically important biomolecules, action of enzymes and role of vitamins and minerals. It then presents in a comprehensive manner the organ system physiology comprising digestive, respiratory, circulatory, excretory, nervous, muscular, endocrine and reproductive systems. The book also includes a chapter on homeostasis and environmental adaptations. Key Features: Illustrates topics with suitable diagrams for a clear-cut grasp of the topics. Provides model question papers to help students reflect upon their understanding of the subject matter. The book is designed for undergraduate students of Zoology and Life Sciences. It would also be useful to postgraduate students of Zoology and Life Sciences as well as to those preparing for competitive examinations.

Human Physiology, Biochemistry and Basic Medicine is a unique perspective that draws together human biology, physiology, biochemistry, nutrition, and cell biology in one comprehensive volume. In this way, it is uniquely qualified to address the needs of the emerging field of humanology, a holistic approach to understanding the biology of humans and how they are distinguished from other animals. Coverage starts with human anatomy and physiology and the details of the workings of all parts of the male and female body. Next, coverage of human biochemistry and how sugars, fats, and amino acids are made and digested is discussed, as is human basic medicine, covering the science of diseases and human evolution and pseudo-evolution. The book concludes with coverage of basic human nutrition, diseases, and treatments, and contains broad coverage that will give the reader an understanding of the entire human picture. - Covers the physiology, anatomy, nutrition, biochemistry and cell biology of humans, showing how they are distinguished from other animals - Includes medical literature and internet references, example test questions, and a list of pertinent words at the end of each chapter - Provides unique perspective into all aspects of what makes up and controls humans

"Human anatomy and physiology is a fascinating subject. However, students can be overwhelmed by the complexity, the interrelatedness of concepts from different chapters, and the massive amount of material in the course. Our goal was to create a textbook to guide students on a clearly written and expertly illustrated beginner's path through the human body. An Integrative Approach One of the most daunting challenges that students face in mastering concepts in an anatomy and physiology course is integrating related content from numerous chapters. Understanding a topic like blood pressure, for example, requires knowledge from the chapters on the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and how these structures are regulated by the nervous and endocrine systems. The usefulness of a human anatomy and physiology text is dependent in part on how successfully it helps students integrate these related concepts. Without this, students are only acquiring what seems like unrelated facts without seeing how they fit into the whole. To adequately explain such complex concepts to beginning students in our own classrooms, we as teachers present multiple topics over the course of many class periods, all the while balancing these detailed explanations with refreshers of content previously covered and intermittent glimpses of the big picture. Doing so ensures that students learn not only the individual pieces, but also how the pieces ultimately fit together. This book represents our best effort to replicate this teaching process. In fact, it is the effective integration of concepts throughout the text that makes this book truly unique from other undergraduate anatomy and physiology texts"--
