A firm grasp of the functions of living organisms is one of the
most important prerequisites to pharmacy study. The long-awaited
second edition of Essentials of Human Physiology presents concepts
in physiology in a way that prepares students for their subsequent
study of pathophysiology, pharmacology, and pharmacotherapeutics.
Thoroughly revised and updated, this text maintains the clarity of
the first edition, yet provides important new information to give
students a solid grounding in some of the most important aspects of
pharmacy. As with the first edition, the book begins with an
overview of the fundamental aspects of cell membrane physiology
with particular emphasis on nerve cell function. This is followed
by a detailed discussion of the two major regulatory systems in the
body: the nervous system and the endocrine system. The book then
continues with in-depth presentations of the reproductive,
muscular, cardiovascular, immune, respiratory, digestive, and renal
systems. An important focus throughout the text is how tissue and
organ function are regulated in order to maintain homeostasis. New
in This Edition: * All 19 chapters updated and expanded * Revised
and additional subsections of pharmacy applications * New sections
on medical terms with pronunciations and definitions * New chapters
on the reproductive and immune systems * Additional figures and
tables to clarify information . This book was written by Laurie
Kelly McCorry, a professor of physiology for eighteen years. Using
simple, straightforward language, the text presents the science of
physiology clearly so that undergraduate students will understand
the relevance of these concepts as they relate to the practice of
pharmacy. By studying and mastering the principles in this text,
students will develop a secure foundation in human physiology so
that they are better equipped to meet the challenges in their
pharmacy career.
