Netter's Essential Physiology, 3rd Edition

• Uses beautifully clear drawings and diagrams from the Netter collection to teach key points quickly, effectively, and memorably
• Contains "light bulb" boxes that use memorable details or examples to foster “a-ha” learning moments
• Includes expanded pathophysiology content with more clinical correlates, including the fallacy of race-dependent differences in normal GFR values and pulmonary function.
• Features new illustrations for GI physiology, and updated figures throughout to better reflect the diversity in human populations
• Contains more practice questions per section
• Provides video tutorials that explain challenging but essential physiology concepts
• An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, plus videos and additional self-assessment questions, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
