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.

这本新再版的教材以深入浅出的方式将分子和细胞生物学与人类病理学和疾病的研究关联起来。著名生理学家以实际、准确、持续的方式强调了这些材料的临床意义。每章阐述了每一身体系统的基本原理和结构。超过八百张高清彩色线图与特点突出的临床案例阐明了所有的概念。这本内容翔实的教材是直观了解本学科前沿基本知识的理想生理学指南。

"In many ways this is like a grown ups version of the many anatomy and physiology combined books out there. While they are great for 1st year Boron has the detail required of later years and is more of a one stop shop. Pick a topic and it will give you anatomy, histology, physiology and biochemistry all in the space of a easily accessible chapter. Medical Physiology’s trump card has to be the unparalleled detailed and colourful annotated illustrations and tables which are both accurate and up to date. They are indispensable in conceptualising complex pathways; you can spend hours reading but it just takes a clear diagram for it to click. Boron cuts the clutter and gets straight down to the serious business where it more than delivers in detail across a comprehensive array of “–ologies” in an easy to understand way. Molecules to cells, organs to systems – Boron’s got it." - Medical Student, University of Glasgow, UK “Clearly links the molecular and cellular biological foundations of
