Abstract
Human Physiology provides clear explanations of the principles that govern the body’s physiological processes and shows how these can be applied. It is made up of eleven sections. Section 1 is about basic concepts. The second section covers the organization and basic functions of cells. The third section looks at the excitable tissues, nerve, and muscle. The fourth section goes into detail about the nervous system and special senses. The section which follows is about the endocrine system and it includes details on the pituitary gland, hypothalamus, the thyroid and parathyroid glands, the adrenal gland, and the endocrine pancreas. The text also looks at blood and the immune system, before turning to the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. There follows a section of the regulation of the internal environment. Towards the end the text turns to the gastrointestinal system. Finally, the text looks at reproduction and growth.
