Clear, focused, and highly visual, Netter's Essential Physiology, 3rd Edition, uses a concise, clinical approach to help you grasp key concepts quickly and easily. Illustrated by the world-renowned Frank H. Netter, MD, and artists working in his tradition, this readable text combines easy-to-understand prose with clinical correlations, “light bulb” side notes, end-of-chapter questions, and helpful videos to ensure a complete understanding of complex content. It’s an ideal text for a basic understanding of physiology, as an overview of the subject, or as a supplement to lectures.
    • 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
    Evolve Instructor site with image bank is available to instructors through their Elsevier sales rep or via request at https://evolve.elsevier.com

      • No information about nonvisual reading is available
    • Conformance
      • No information is available
    • Navigation
      • Table of contents to all chapters of the text via links
      • Page list to go to pages from the print source version

      • Content is enhanced with ARIA roles to optimize organization and facilitate navigation
      • Page breaks included from the original print source
      • For readers with color vision deficiency, use of color (e.g., in diagrams, graphics and charts, in prompts, or on buttons inviting a response) is not the sole means of graphical distinction or of conveying information
      • E-publication includes basic navigation (usually less detailed than TOC-based navigation)
      • Where links, controls or buttons are included in the content, the purpose or functionality of each link, control or button is apparent from the associated text alone - or where it is unclear, separate link, control or button descriptions are provided
      • All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
      • The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
