The third edition of Physiology and Anatomy for Nurses and
Healthcare Practitioners: A homeostatic approach presents
homeostasis as a dynamic concept that provides the basis for
understanding health and well-being. It recognises how failure to
respond to homeostatic disturbances results in imbalances
responsible for signs and symptoms of ill-health, and describes how
healthcare interventions seek to reverse those imbalances.
Accompanied by colour illustrations and a description of related
anatomy, the book provides an integrated explanation of body
functioning. It discusses the organisation of the human body, main
features and processes that must be controlled for health, the
organ systems that act as homeostatic regulators, and effectors of
homeostatic regulation. It also discusses influences on homeostasis
and provides case studies that place examples of ill health and
health care into the context of homeostasis. Features of the third
edition include: An overview of microbiology and principles of
infection management Expanded information on pharmacological
principles and actions of the major classes of drugs Expanded
discussion on physiological functions in relation to specific
pathologies Updates on how the Human Genome project has impacted
healthcare Additional case studies to illustrate the healthcare
provider's role as an external agent of homeostatic control
Photographs of common clinical conditions Access to an accompanying
website with supplemental information An essential physiology and
anatomy text, this book guides readers through the basic structure
and functions of the body systems to more complex issues of
clinical disorders and healthcare practice. Coverage includes the
cardiovascular, lymphatic, nervous, endocrine, reproductive, and
respiratory systems as well as skeletal muscle, embryo development,
and circadian rhythms.
