This second edition has been updated, reflecting new knowledge in the field and including several new topics: a discussion of endorphins and neuroregulators, a section on oncogenes and another on toxic-shock syndrome and a discussion of AIDS. As with the first edition, a conceptual adaptation approach is used throughout and the emphasis is on mechanisms by which pathogenic agents disrupt homeostasis and mechanisms by which the body maintains or restores homeostasis. Provides sufficient facts and details to enable students to understand the mechanisms and principles involved, rather than merely providing a list of signs and symptoms. Also new to this edition are "behavioral objectives" at the start of each chapter and review questions at the end of each unit that integrate information from several chapters. Contains many more illustrations as well.

Part I: Basic concepts of health and disease. Homeostasis and adaptation. Part II: Genetic mechanisms. The basis of heredity. Principles of genetics. Part III: Physical response to tissue injury. Homeostasis. Inflammatory-reparative response. Part IV: Endocrine and metabolic disturbances. Endocrine imbalance. Disturbances of metabolism. Part V: Disturbances of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base balance. Disturbances of fluid volume and osmolarity. Mineral/electrolyte imbalance. Part VI: Disturbances of oxygenation and perfusion. Oxygen imbalance. Shock. Part VII: Physical stressors. Electromagnetic radiation. Heat and cold. Part VIII: Chemical stressors. Interaction of chemicals with the body. Endogenous toxins. Part IX: Biological stressors. Infectious agents. Altered immune states. Glossary. Answers to review questions. Index.
