Human Physiology From Cells to Systems (2015) (PDF) by Lauralee Sherwood

Description

Organized around the central theme of homeostasis–how the body meets changing demands while maintaining the internal constancy necessary for all cells and organs to function–HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY helps you appreciate the integrated functioning of the human body. Author Lauralee Sherwood uses clear, straightforward language, analogies, and frequent references to everyday experiences to help you learn and relate to physiology concepts. The vibrant art program and empowering digital resources–including robust 3D animations and rich homework problems –enable you to visualize important concepts and processes. By focusing on the core principles and sharing enthusiasm for the subject matter, Sherwood helps you develop a solid foundation for future courses and careers in the health profession.

User’s Reviews

I bought this book as a required text in a pathophysiology course. Almost every page has a great illustration to demonstrate the concept being taught. Easy to follow for the in-depth level of teaching it provides. Each chapter has practice questions at the end with answers in the back of the book. My favorite feature is the tear-out study cards located at the end of the book-these pages provide a breakdown/summary of the keypoints of each chapter and have really helped with my studying.

This book explains physiology well in an easy-to-understand manner. When I would get lost in lecture, this book helped clear things up! Definitely my best companion in the course. Illustrations are great, text is concise, and the authors are thorough. Highly recommend.
