Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach, Global Edition

by Unknown

Human Physiology: An Integrated Approachbroke ground with its thorough coverage of molecular physiology seamlessly integrated into a traditional homeostasis-based systems approach . The newly revised Fourth Edition strengthens the coverage of the “big picture” themes in the study of physiology and helps students tie concepts together in a logical framework for learning.  BASIC CELL PROCESSES: INTEGRATION AND COORDINATION, Introduction to Physiology, Molecular Interactions, Compartmentation: Cells and Tissues, Energy and Cellular Metabolism, Membrane Dynamics, Communication, Integration, Homeostasis, HOMEOSTASIS AND CONTROL, Introduction to the Endocrine System, Neurons: Cellular and Network Properties, The Central Nervous System, Sensory Physiology, Efferent Division: Autonomic and Somatic Motor Control, Muscles, Integrative Physiology I: Control of Body Movement, INTEGRATION OF FUNCTION, Cardiovascular Physiology, Blood Flow and the Control of Blood Pressure, Blood, Mechanics of Breathing, Gas Exchange and Transport, The Kidneys, Integrative Physiology II: Fluid and Electrolyte Balance, METABOLISM, GROWTH, AND AGING, Digestion, Energy Balance and Metabolism, Endocrine Control of Growth and Metabolism, The Immune System, Integrative Physiology III: Exercise, Reproduction and Development. For all readers interested in the study of human physiology.

And nagroda za najlepszy podręcznik na lekarskim goes to... 🥂
Update 17.01.2023. Like srsly, zanudziłabym się na śmierć bez niego.
Update 8.06.2023. Silverthorn zawsze będzie miał special place in my heart 😌
Update 13.06.2023. XD srsly czy ja mogę promować silverthorna? Jakiś patronat czy coś? Mogę nawet napisać rozprawkę o tym dlaczego ta książka jest świetna

wcale nie przeczytałam całej ale shhhh, najlepsza science book ever

[Sadia]

excellent book, although i read it as a course material i learnt greatly from the book. The author has done a wonderful job making the book easy to understand yet grasp all the details and terms required for a physiology class. Highly Recommend the book - the CD is great as well!

[Melissa]

Wonderful textbook!

Polecam, bardzo śmieszkowa, można nawet się zaśmiać ucząc się o 3 nad ranem do egzaminu, zdarzyło się, że parsknęłam śmiechem. Potrafi dobrze wprowadzić i wytłumaczyć temat, jednak raczej zalecałabym jeszcze coś dodatkowego. Egzamin zdany, więc to co wyciągnęłam z tej książki chyba się prowadzącemu podobało. <3

Every once in a while a chemist ought to read some biology. For me, reviewing physiological processes at the level of systems and organs gave a higher level view than my typical molecular - receptor perspective. I give this textbook 5 stars!

Have 1st ed, 1997

[Martyna]

one of the best textbooks I have ever read

przepiękna pozycja

im sorry

or am i????

I take out this textbook out so often!!!! And i actually use this one lol. Good for biochem & so great for molecular bio and physiology

This book is so good at laying things out clearly for a subject that is highly complex and dynamic. Although the book lacks a bit of the integration that is required for a discipline like Physiology, it gives the basic outline of how Physiology should be approached, mastered, and reviewed for better understanding (and grades haha). It also has VERY helpful images and diagrams that help to think through the material when the text isn't making sense. I would recommend this book to anyone taking an introductory Physiology course, with the disclaimer that they will probably learn other more interesting things (practical applications and real life scenarios) in lectures.

[Humayra Sullivan]

A very good book with interesting case studies spread throughout each chapter. The language was easy, the explanations were thorough and overall it was readable. My only complaint is that it had a LOT of detail, but maybe it was written for a course that covered things in more depth than mine did. A lot of the time I skimmed over sections because there was just so much that I didn't need. Overall a good book.

Not my favorite class ever but that's what happens when you take something hard senior year. Also, I did not have and still do not have a desire to study any sort of medicine and this was directed towards future doctors.

[Iida]

Actually read 3rd edition, partly.

[James]

Good book for Integrative Physiology background, one of the better classes I've taken.

[Zachary Lawson]

One of the better texts out there. The writing is clear and concise. There are a plethora of diagrams and charts that really illuminate the concepts.

[Sherry]

A very nice human physiology check book.

[Ali Azawi]

A book to learn many facts about human body, not sure how help it is with our school system. :)

[Chen]

McGill, ANSC 323 - Mammalian physiology. Not a good textbook: general, vague and not-so-informative.

[Jared Johnson]

poor content, poor writing, disorganized, etc., etc.
worst text book ever

Great textbook, but I'm glad to be rid of it for a little while!
