Human Physiology is a comprehensive medical textbook devoted to the study of normal functions and processes in the human body. Designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms that maintain the health and well-being of the body, this textbook is an indispensable resource for students of medicine, biology, and allied health majors.
The beginning of the textbook discusses the basic principles of physiology, including the tissues and organs in the human body, their functions and interactions. The mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis - the important balance in the body, necessary for its optimal functioning - are examined.
Subsequent sections of the textbook systematically examine the various systems in the human body, including the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, muscular, and others. For each of these compartmental systems, detailed explanations of their structure, function, and regulation are provided. This approach gives students the opportunity to understand not only the individual organs, but also how they interact in the human body system.
The textbook pays special attention to the cellular and molecular mechanisms that are responsible for various functions. This aspect is important for understanding physiology at a deeper level and includes the study of biochemical processes, electrical activity in neurons, hormonal regulation and other molecular events.
The textbook combines theoretical foundations with clinical applications and examples, making it suitable for future medical professionals. The importance of understanding normal physiological processes for better diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions is emphasized.
An important aspect of the textbook is the emphasis on the interaction between physiology and disease. The authors provide information on the abnormalities and conditions that may occur in various systemic disorders, thus enriching students' knowledge in the field of practical medicine.
With its extensive scope and up-to-date information provided in each chapter, Human Physiology becomes an indispensable part of the academic training of future medical professionals. The inclusion of new research and scientific findings makes it an up-to-date resource that will satisfy the interests of more experienced physiology specialists as well.
