Pairing necessary detail with concise readability, Berne & Levy Physiology, 8th Edition, provides a perfect balance of content to deliver an in-depth understanding of the body’s dynamic processes. Long respected for its scientifically rigorous approach, this highly regarded, mid-size text offers essential physiology with integrated coverage of biophysics andkey experimental observations and examples—all designed to provide a solid scientific foundation in physiology for future scientists and clinicians.
    • Uses a logical, organ system-based approach that clearly describes all of the mechanisms that control and regulate bodily function
    • Includes new clinical case examples, as well as In the Clinic and At the Molecular Level boxes that highlight practical aspects of this fundamental science
    • Provides key experimental observations and examples that offer a rich understanding of the body's dynamic processes
    • Discusses recent discoveries such as the role of lymphatics in the nervous system
    • Begins each chapter with a bulleted list of questions and ends with key concepts covered in that chapter
    • Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices
