The third edition of this popular textbook introduces the student to those principles and concepts of physiology pertinent to the practice of veterinary medicine. It also covers physiopathology and clinical problem-solving techniques. Following on from the previous editions, the key features which facilitate students in understanding each topics, (Clinical correlation boxes appear in each chapter. They include history, Clinical and Laboratory Examination, Comment and Treatment), have been thoroughly revised and updated bringing forth current data in this area.
I really enjoyed this book to supplement our first year lectures in physiology in veterinary school. The other physiology book that we used a lot of was Guyton and Hall, and though a very good book it was far too detailed to be of much use to me for my time constraints. I felt this text set things out plainly and allowed me to get a good solid general grasp of the concepts so I could build on them in a medical context in later years. I know many of my classmates wanted something more detailed than an overview, but it fit my learning style well. Thumbs up to Cunningham. I own the fourth edition.
