Foundations of Human Physiology presents a comprehensive, system-wise understanding of how the human body functions in health and disease. Designed for medical and allied health students, this book integrates cellular mechanisms with organ-system physiology and clinical relevance.
Beginning with general physiology and cellular function, the text progresses through body fluids, blood, immunity, nervous system, muscle physiology, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestive system, renal physiology, integumentary system, and endocrinology. Each system is explained logically, emphasizing mechanisms, regulation, and applied aspects essential for examinations and clinical practice.
The book balances conceptual clarity with clinical orientation, covering topics such as membrane transport, nerve conduction, reflexes, cardiac cycle, ECG, blood pressure regulation, gas exchange, acid-base balance, renal function, hormonal control, and physiological adaptations in disease states.
This volume is ideal for undergraduate medical students (MBBS, BDS), nursing students, pharmacy, physiotherapy, and other allied health sciences, as well as for exam revision and foundational reference.
