Vander's human physiology the mechanisms of body function. Human physiology - 11th ed. Eric P. Widmaier, Hershel Raff, Kevin T. Strang. - Boston McGraw-Hill Higher Education �2008. - xxviii, 770 pages illustrations (chiefly color) 29 cm
Includes bibliographical references (page 747) and index.
Ch. 1. Homeostasis: A framework for human physiology -- Ch. 2. Chemical composition of the body -- Ch. 3. Cellular structure, proteins, and metabolism -- Ch. 4. Movement of Molecules across cell membranes -- Ch. 5. Control of cells by chemical messengers -- Ch. 6. Neuronal signaling and the structure of the nervous system -- Ch. 7. Sensory physiology -- Ch. 8. Consciousness, the brain, and behavior -- Ch. 9. Muscle -- Ch. 10. Control of the body movement -- Ch. 11. The Endocrine system -- Ch. 12. Cardiovascular physiology -- Ch. 13. Respiratory physiology -- Ch. 14. The kidneys and regulation of water and inorganic Ions -- Ch. 15. The Digestion and absorption of Foods -- Ch. 16. Regulation of Organic Metabolism and energy balance -- Ch. 17. Reproduction -- Ch. 18. Defense mechanism of the Body -- Ch. 19. Medical Physiology: Integration using clinical cases.
The fundamental purpose of this textbook is to present the principles and facts of human physiology in a format that is suitable for undergraduates regardless of academic background or field of study. The eleventh edition, carries on the tradition of clarity and accuracy, while refining and updating the content to meet the needs of today's instructors and students. The eleventh edition features a streamlined, clinically oriented focus to the study of human body systems. It has also responded to reviewer requests for more clinical applications. Chapter 19 is new and contains three complete case studies. Physiology Inquiries have also been added to many figures throughout the chapters.
