Essentials of Medical Physiology

This comprehensive textbook covers how the human body works, from basic principles to the individual organ systems. It opens with general concepts that apply to all cells and tissues, then moves through the systems that carry and clean the blood, power muscle movement, process food, filter waste, and regulate hormones. Later chapters address reproduction, the heart and circulation, breathing and how the body adapts to different environments, the nervous system, and the senses such as sight and hearing. Organized as a series of focused sections with a closing index, it serves as a reference for students of medicine and allied health who need a clear, structured overview of how each system functions.
