Synopsis

This text, designed for modern medical school courses in physiology, links molecular and cellular biology to the study of human physiology and disease. Compared to other major textbooks of physiology, this book devotes a much larger portion of space to full-color explanatory illustrations. Boron and Boulpaep, both affiliated with the Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology at Yale University School of Medicine, have included new material on hemostasis and fibrinolysis for this updated edition. While medical students are the primary audience for the text, it will also be valuable for those in allied health professions and for graduate students in the physiological sciences. The text received a favorable review from Doody's.
