The reference book for human physiology
The first reference focusing on the integration of molecular, cellular and general physiology
Lavishly illustrated with 1350 figures, almost 700 in colour



Comprehensive Human Physiology is a completely new kind of publication on physiology, presenting state-of-the-art knowledge about the molecluar mechanisms and the integrative regulation of body functions. This is the first time that both the molecular and integrative aspects of physiology have been combined to provide a unified overview of the field. This two-volume set shows physiology to be a highly dynamic science that is based on functional thinking and rooted in the ever-continuing process of learning more about life. The chapters contain a wealth of original data and numerous clear illustrations, making this into a valuable and easy-to-use reference book. This, together with the extensive references to the literature, makes this the comprehensive fundamental reference work in the fields of physiology and pathophysiology, essential reading for researchers, instructors and advanced students.
