Foundations of Human Physiology

Foundations of Human Physiology provides a complete and systematic account of the functional mechanisms of the human body. The book integrates cellular physiology with organ system function, offering a clear understanding of how the body maintains homeostasis in health and adapts in disease.

This text covers all major physiological systems, including general physiology, blood and immunity, nervous system, muscle, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, renal, endocrine, reproductive, and special senses. Complex concepts are explained in a structured, exam-oriented manner with emphasis on mechanisms, regulation, and applied physiology.

Designed primarily for medical and allied health students, this book also serves as a valuable reference for clinicians seeking a concise yet comprehensive revision of core physiological principles.

Key features of the book include:

• Clear, system-wise organization for easy learning and revision

• Detailed explanations of mechanisms and regulatory pathways

• Strong integration of applied and clinical physiology

• Suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate examinations

• Useful as both a primary textbook and a revision reference

Foundations of Human Physiology is ideal for students of medicine, dentistry, nursing, physiotherapy, pharmacy, and other health sciences.
