This book makes an effort an effort to meet the requirement of undergraduate and post-graduate to understand, unless presented in a simple and clear manner. The main objective of the book is to express the fundamental principles and physiological basis of modern medicine in a form which will make the subject clear, lucid and easily understandable to the Indian students of medicine,by avoiding unnecessary or complicated details. While presenting basic fundamentals of physiology and recent concepts that has evolved on the subject, the book strives to present a balanced exposition of the general principles and physiology and experimental research.

The study of the biological, science, and mechanical functions that make up human life is known as physiology. The study of human science and physiology is the oldest and most intriguing area of scientific study. Physiology's crowning achievement is the way it unifies the individual functions played by the body's cells, tissues, as well as organs into a coherent whole: the human body. Indeed, the human body is much more than the sum of its parts, and life relies upon its total function, not merely on the function of the individual body parts in independence from the others. Following in the footsteps of world of Anatomy and Physiology. this book is aimed towards newcomers to the discipline of Physiology. Students interested in pursuing a career in medicine, dentistry, nursing, or other health-needed principles, or in furthering their care at the graduate level in biological and health sciences, will find this physiology very basic. It may also be helpful for doctors and other medical professionals who want to refresh their memories on the fundamentals of human disease pathophysiology. Many physiology principles may now be described in terminology of the molecular and physical sciences, rather than as a set of distinct and unexplainable biological occurrences, thanks to possible developments in molecular and cellular physiology. The field of physiology is heavily reliant on laboratory-based basic research. Some physiologists focus on studying individual cells or proteins, while others may investigate how cells work together to produce complex tissues, organs, and

The book fully covers the syllabus prescribed by Dental Council of India and presents a thorough exposition of physiology for undergraduate students. The exposition is systematically divided into eleven sections. Each section begins with a brief overview highlighting the topics covered. The subject is then explained in a graded manner with a large number of diagrams, flowcharts and tables to facilitate an easy understanding. About the Author : - Dr.(Mrs.) Indu Khurana, Associate Professor, Department of Physiology, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Rohtak, India. She has a rich experience of more than 25 years of teaching and research. She has to her credit the discovery of a new reflex 'the oculodepressor reflex (ODR)' and three distinct patterns of oculorespiratory reflex (ORR), (British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1997). On account of her contribution to the field, her biographical profile was included in the Marqui's 'Who's Who in Science and Engineering'.

The new edition of Human Physiology - an Oxford Core Text continues to meet the needs of preclinical medical students and is also of value to those following undergraduate courses in physiology and other health-related disciplines. It adopts a student-friendly style with an emphasis on clarity, explanation and understanding complemented by full-color illustrations. The book has a hierarchical organization, beginning with aspects of cell and tissue function before proceeding to a consideration of the communication systems of the body including the endocrine and nervous systems. The heart of the text concerns the physiology of the main body systems. The new edition has been significantly revised to include an expanded problem section at the end of each chapter with more quantitative examples and some clinical problems where appropriate. Each chapter has been updated and new material includes a section on the physiology of itch; more detailed treatment of colour vision, deafness and vestibular blindness; increased emphasis on neurology disorders; discussion of the physiology of respiratory failure and pulmonary embolism; a discussion of malabsorption disorders; extensive revision to cover the wider aspects of material physiology not just lactation, and extended treatment of fever. The Clinical Physiology chapter is now broken into several short chapters and includes a discussion of cardiovascular pathophysiology and organ failure.
