Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach, Global Edition

Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach helps you construct for yourself a global view of the body, its systems, and the many processes that keep the systems working. Moving beyond straight memorization, it encourages you to develop skills in analyzing, synthesizing and evaluating information. The author builds on her active learning instruction style and integrates big picture themes with the most current cellular and molecular physiology topics. The 9th Edition extensively revises and increases coverage of the immune system in light of the global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. It focuses more heavily on the Core Concepts of Physiology organized in the book’s 4 units, and adds new visual learning aids to help you integrate and navigate those concepts. Abundant new and updated research and discussion throughout includes reflex loops, body mass index (BMI), airway epithelial cells, cystic fibrosis, oxytocin and autism, COVID-19 and loss of taste and smell, and much more.
