Product Description
The updated 2nd edition of this accessible and in-depth resource firmly relates molecular and cellular biology to the study of human physiology and disease. Leading physiologists present you with practical, accurate coverage, continually emphasizing the clinical implications of the material. Each chapter explains the principles and organization of each body system, while more than 800 high-quality, full-color line drawings and prominently featured clinical examples clarify every concept. This exceptionally detailed and comprehensive guide to physiology is ideal for a rich, straightforward, state-of-the-art understanding of this essential subject.
- Provides clinical examples of disordered physiology in prominent boxes throughout the text for at-a-glance access to important content.
- Clarifies concepts with the use of 800 color drawings that feature balloon captions explaining key processes.
- Presents material in a consistent style to make the text readable and easy to understand.
- Offers a practical organization by body system for an intuitive and accessible approach to physiology.
- Features access to the complete contents of the book online, plus a full image collection, animations, 150 review questions, and supplemental web notes for more detailed information.
- Keeps you current with updated material, including a new chapter on Physiology of Aging and a new section on hemostasis.
- Offers the latest visual guidance with a revised and updated art program.
Your purchase entitles you to access the web site until the next edition is published, or until the current edition is no longer offered for sale by Elsevier, whichever occurs first.

Boron beats Guyton...well, Boron beats EVERYTHING!! September 18, 2008

The basis of everything that happens in our universe is chemistry. The basis of function or disease is biochemistry. Boron makes sure that you understand that right from the start.
This book takes a diferent aproach to physiology, focusing mainly on molecular and chemical interactions betwen cells and, ultimately, organs and systems.
Complex mechanisms regulate the cells response to stmuli and these mechanisms are ultimately responsible of secretion, growth or death. Physiology can be as simple as this hormone stimulates this tissue , but without understanding the mechanism, how can we hope to repair it?
Boron takes physiology to new heights, explaining complex machinery this hormone binds to this receptor, changing the protein structure, and enables several cytoplasmic molecules to interact with it, thus activating enzymes to increase sintesis of this factor... and it goes on and on.
The amazing comlexity is paired with accurate images that explain everything in the text. This book is the best ilustrated book that I have seen so far in my career. Also the text is easy to read, understand and follow.
To my personal taste, this book achieves te pinnacle of what a medical book, regardless the subject, should be:
heavily ilustrated, well writen and deep molecular oriented presentation.
This is my favoite book, give it a try.
Comprehensive Physiology Textbook September 3, 2008
Bryan Mcconomy (Carbondale, IL)
This physiology textbook is for more advanced readers. It is not for those who are just starting physiology with little background knowledge. It has many helpful illustrations, and the book is well written. Other good textbook's include Vander's Physiology and Medical Physiology (Guyton). All are very good textbooks and very informative.
 Too Much Info April 9, 2008

This book is just too good. It is too much info for a 2-3 month course but might make a good reference text for complex questions.

Great book. Very thorough. Includes the latest findings on molecular biology that affect physiology. A bit dense though. The online link to student consult is extremely useful.
