Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology
Author:Kim E. Barrett, Susan M. Barman, Jason Yuan, Heddwen L. Brooks
Edition:26th Edition
Physiological mechanisms are explored across organ systems, linking cellular function to whole-body regulation. It integrates concepts such as neural signaling, endocrine control, and cardiovascular dynamics while emphasizing how homeostasis is maintained and how disruptions lead to disease.
