Lecture Notes: Human Physiology provides concise coverage of general physiology for medical students as well as students of biological sciences, sport science, pharmacology and nursing.

This fifth edition of the ever popular Lecture Notes: Human Physiology has been thoroughly revised and updated by a new international team of authors. The simple structure and systems-based approach remain, with a new clean layout for ease of reading and colour now incorporated to aid understanding.

Lecture Notes: Human Physiology:

• 
  
• Provides more focus on pathophysiology for clinical relevance
  
• Is the perfect introduction for medical and allied health care students
  
• Now includes physiology of pain and increased coverage of heart and the vascular system
  
• Includes a completely revised chapter on the nervous system.

Rezensionen

"A practical, easy-to-read text that incorporates diagrams
alongside text to aid understanding. Concise and to the point, it
serves as an ideal student text." Medical Student,
Peninsula

"A thoroughly informative and useful anthology of human
physiology, perfectly suited to medical and scientific students
alike, who are looking for a core text with which to edify their
understanding. It will bring physiology alive to you by exploring
the systems in a clear and compelling manner." Medical
Student, Imperial

"The text covers important concepts in physiology, both at
the organ system and cellular levels. It stresses essential and
relevant content with clarity and includes numerous tables and
illustrations." Medical Student, Bristol
University

"Petersen's Human Physiology is 650 pages of excellently
presented, readable science. It is suitable for medical and
undergraduate life science students. Extraneous details are kept to
a minimum, and the text would cover any medical school curriculum."
Medical Student, Dundee University

"Physiology is not easy at the best of times; this book
covers in detail all you need to know in an easy to understand
manner- giving you the basic ground knowledge to form your clinical
knowledge on top." Medical Student, HYMS

"Includes none of the clutter you have to wade through in other
books. The content is condensed down to the essential information
and is presented in a very readable layout. Excellent for
consolidating your learning. Compact yet comprehensive." Medical
Student, Brighton Sussex Medical School
