A firm grasp of the functions of living organisms is one of the most important prerequisites to pharmacy study. The long-awaited second edition of Essentials of Human Physiology presents concepts in physiology in a way that prepares students for their subsequent study of pathophysiology, pharmacology, and pharmacotherapeutics. Thoroughly
Combining two separate textbooks entitled Essentials of Human Physiology for Pharmacy and Essentials of Pathophysiology for Pharmacy into one cohesive volume, this new book seamlessly integrates material related to normal human physiology and pathophysiology into each chapter. Chapters include: Study objectives at the beginning of each chapter; Summary tables, flow charts, diagrams, and key definitions; Real life case studies to emphasize clinical application and stimulate student critical thinking; An emphasis on the rationale for drug therapy; Simple, straightforward language. Written by authors with extensive teaching experience in the areas, Essentials of Human Physiology and Pathophysiology for Pharmacy and Allied Health is a concise learning instrument that will guide students in pharmacy and allied health programs.
Essentials of Human Physiology and Pathophysiology for Pharmacy and Allied Health is the result of merging two separate textbooks: (1) Essentials of Human Physiology for Pharmacy, and (2) Essentials of Pathophysiology for Pharmacy. Using a systems-based approach, the text seamlessly integrates material related to normal human physiology and pathophysiology into each chapter.
Presenting all the information your students need in an accessible layout, Essentials of Pathophysiology for Pharmacy will give students a practical understanding of the pathophysiologic basis of selected diseases while providing a rationale for subsequent drug therapy.
This book is an accessible collection of case study scenarios ideal for physiology and pharmacology revision for pharmacy, medical, biomedical science, clinical science and healthcare students. Clearly structured and organized by major organ system, the book emphasises ways in which key signs and symptoms of disease inform diagnosis and the choice of treatment, together with the relevant pharmacological mechanisms. Each chapter has a clinical focus and includes clear learning outcomes, key points and model answers with detailed explanations designed to enhance students’ understanding of the physiology and pharmacology underpinning each case study scenario. 50 topics are covered and the cases presented include an extensive range of psychological, neurological, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, gastrointestinal and reproductive disorders, their symptoms, complications and usual treatment along with the actions and uses of some widely- used drugs. An essential revision text designed to help students apply their theoretical knowledge to real-life cases Realistic case studies focusing on commonly occurring conditions and diseases Model answers throughout Learning outcomes provided at the beginning of each chapter Key learning points presented in the cases follow each model answer Helps students to understand the relevance and clinical implications of the topics studied in physiology and pharmacology courses Reinforces major concepts and definitions Includes a glossary with a full list of drugs and disorders to support the text
Textbooks on human physiology abound. However, they are either basic in nature or are rigorous treatments written for medical and graduate students and exceed the level of detail that student pharmacists need. Putting important topics right at your fingertips, Essentials of Human Physiology for Pharmacy describes physiology with just the right amou

See what students are saying online… Great book!“This is THE best Anatomy & Physiology book I've ever used. Clear and easy to understand. Some of the areas of physiology I've had problems with in the past were made clear this term with this book! I had to have it for class of course, but I'd also read it for fun. (I plan to keep the book instead of sell it)”—A. Francis Good.“This was a great text for my Anatomy and Physiology class. It was easy to understand and I got a great grade.”—Alisa M. Also Available Student Workbook for Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology, 8th Edition
Fundamentals of Human Physiology was conceived to meet the needs of students and professors struggling with the complexity and depth of the larger, more detailed human physiology textbooks currently available. In addition to being more concise and focusing on the basics of human physiology, this text is smaller in physical size, allowing for a cheaper, easier choice for instructors.
Written in simple and concise language, and amply supplemented with a large number of easily-reproducible colour diagrams that explain the subjects, this book will be invaluable for all pharmacy students. Tables and flowcharts have been introduced for comprehensive, all-round understanding of the theoretical aspects and practical applications. Discussion on clinical aspects provides a bird's eye view of many of the clinical conditions which pharmacy students would anticipate and may see during their training period. Most importantly the book includes a section on practicals of both anatomy and physiology making it a complete book on both subjects.
