Second edition of Textbook of Human Physiology for Dental Students has been thoroughly revised and updated in view of the advances in this field without changing its general organization. In this book core and applied aspects of human physiology have been skillfully intermingled to enable students to apply their learning in clinical situations. - Tailor-made for BDS students as per the requirements laid down by the Dental Council of India (DCI). - Text organized in such a way that the students can easily understand, retain and reproduce it. - Various levels of headings, subheadings, boldface and italics to help in quick revision of the subject. - Black and white figures replaced by coloured ones and each section presented in a different colour format to enhance lucidity of the book. - Brief introduction to the relevant functional anatomy preceding the description of the physiological aspects in each section for better understanding of the subject. - In order to emphasize the clinical significance of physiology relevant applied aspects have been covered adequately in each chapter. - Essential aspects of the text have been highlighted in separate boxes.

The striking feature of the book is to let the students know what they have to study for their immediate examination needs. Specially designed for UG students of dentistry and allied health disciplines, this book explains the fundamental principles of physiology in a friendly and succinct manner.

This textbook provides comprehensive coverage of oral embryology, histology, anatomy and physiology in a single volume. It provides dental students with a one-stop resource to assist them in their basic science training and includes sections on human oral embryology, oral anatomy, physiology and histochemistry. Well illustrated figures, tables and diagrams assist understanding and learning.

Essentials of Medical Physiology highlights essential and relevant content of physiology with absolute clarity and includes concise step-by-step explanations complemented by numerous tables and abundant illustrations. The text has been organized systematically into eleven sections: General Physiology, Nerve Muscle Physiology, Blood and Immune System, Cardiovascular System, Respiratory System, Excretory System, Gastrointestinal System, Endocrinal System, Reproductive System, Nervous System and Special Senses. Each section has been subdivided into various chapters. This book fulfills the needs of medical as well as dental students. Its conciseness makes it the preferred book for students of alternative medical sciences (Ayurveda, Homeopathy, etc.) and allied health sciences. This book will also be very useful for students pursuing Masters in Physiology.

Physiology for Dental Students presents a combined view of physiological mechanisms and physiological systems. It discusses the oral importance of basic physiology. It addresses physiological principles and specific types of cells. Some of the topics covered in the book are the movements of materials across cell membranes; the fluid compartments of the body; the major storage of body water; histological and ultrastructural appearance of the salivary glands; the secretion of substances into the urine in the kidney; and the total osmotic activity of plasma. The morphology of the red blood cells is fully covered. The factors necessary for red blood cell development is discussed in detail. The text describes in depth the mechanical properties of smooth muscle. The process of breathing and the elasticity of lungs are presented completely. A chapter is devoted to the parts of the central nervous system. The book can provide useful information to dentists, doctors, students, and researchers.

This thoroughly revised, up-to-date text addresses the fundamental principles of physiology in a format that would be particularly useful for the undergraduate dental students. Due to its simple and concise presentation, it would also be useful to other allied health professionals. The book would help students prepare for their examinations apart from understanding the physiological basis of diseases. Two additional chapters on Large Intestine and Digestion and Absorption included All chapters thoroughly revised and updated Numerous new illustrations and flowcharts added for clear understanding of the physiological concepts Text boxes included to highlight important topics Learning objectives, chapter summary, and review questions have been included in every chapter for the benefit of students Updated special write-up on Understanding Medical Terminology included to facilitate easy grasp of common medical terms

Completely revised, entirely rewritten, thoroughly updated, and judiciously enlarged by a highly qualified and experienced team of editors.
