Our Marvelous Bodies offers a unique perspective on the structure,
function, and care of the major systems of the human body. Unlike
other texts that use a strictly scientific approach, physiologist
Gary F. Merrill relays medical facts alongside personal stories
that help students relate to and apply the information. Readers
learn the basics of feedback control systems, homeostasis, and
physiological gradients. These principles apply to an understanding
of the body’s functioning under optimal, healthy conditions, and
they provide insight into states of acute and chronic illness.
Separate chapters are devoted to each of the body’s systems in
detail: nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal,
gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, reproductive, and immune.
Through a series of real-life examples, the book also shows the
importance of maintaining careful medical records for health care
professionals, scientists, and patients alike.
