Principles of Human Physiology

Based on the author's earlier publication Anatomy and Physiology for Nurses and Allied Health Sciences, this textbook has been written with extensive revision and addition made in the text and graphics in an effort to make it especially useful for the undergraduate students of courses in nursing and allied health sciences. A large number of freshly drawn illustrations has been provided to facilitate understanding of the subject. Extensive use of color has been made in text and illustrations to enhance the visual impact and cognition. Though effort has been made to be brief so as not to burden the student with too many details, yet complete curriculum has been covered leaving no topic of physiology untouched. The common disease conditions encountered by nurses in the hospital setting have been mentioned. Physiological derangements have been coordinated with the disease conditions.With complete coverage of topics in physiology, the teachers/tutors in the institutions will also find the textbook useful to refer to the topics for preparing their class lectures.
