The Physiology Of Health And Illness - With Related Anatomy

The Physiology of Health and Illness is a comprehensive undergraduate text which analyses the physiological mechanisms operating across a range of states of health. The material is supported by descriptions of relevant anotomical structures. The approach which has been adopted emphasizes that the same cause and effect mechanisms are operating in both health and illness within the framework of homeostasis. The book does not assume substantial scientific knowledge and it is written and illustrated clearly and concisely, using British units of measurement. The authors have written a concise textbook distilled from their combined experience of teaching students of nursing, midwifery, physiotherapy, health studies, occupational therapy, radiography, speech therapy, podiatry and medical laboratory sciences. The textbook, with its clear illustrations, is also an invaluable resurce for lecturers.
