Human Physiology - The Mechanisms Of Body Function - Thryft

Understanding human body functions through causal links.

This book would be a great read for students and professionals in the field of physiology who want to understand the mechanisms of human body function in a mechanistic way. The book provides simplification of complex processes and is complete with flow charts and tables, which makes studying and understanding easy. Additionally, the updated coverage on genetics and exercise physiology is another reason this book is a great resource for anyone looking to expand their knowledge in these areas.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Book Condition Guide

Books in Like New Condition

This book may contain very minor cosmetic defects, but it is in pristine condition. There should be no yellowing, no foxing, no water damage, and no annotations of any kind on the cover and the pages. For paperbacks, there should not be any crease marks on the spine. This book is good as new — lucky you!

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Very Good Condition

This book has been used, but it is still in a clean condition. There should be no foxing or annotations of any kind on the inner pages, but a sparse amount may be present on the cover, title pages, or outside edges of the book. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be light crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Good Condition

We do our best to ensure the quality of our books, but there is no escaping the wear and tear that comes with time. Slight foxing and some annotations may be present on the pages and the cover. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be several crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Well Read Condition

This is a well-read book, which means that the previous owner probably really enjoyed it! The cover and pages may include moderate foxing and annotations, but the text is not obscured and still readable. Moderate cosmetic defects and minor water damage may be present on the edges of the book. For paperbacks, there may be multiple crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Description

The new edition of this physiology text has been written to teach the
functions of the human body from a mechanistic approach, and it stresses
homeostatic and control systems. The mechanistic approach explains
physiology as a dynamic process of chains of causal links rather than just
stating facts and events. The sections on signal transduction mechanisms
have been simplified, to emphasize the basic principles. Each chapter
contains colour-coded flow charts which review the important material, and
there are also an increased number of summary tables. The coverage of
exercise physiology has been revised, as have the sections on genetics:
these now include the human genome project, transcription factors and gene
cloning.
