Medical Physiology: A Cellular And Molecular Approaoch
Author:Walter F. Boron, Emile L. Boulpaep
Edition:2nd Edition
Physiological processes are explained from the cellular and molecular level to whole-body system integration, emphasizing how organ systems maintain homeostasis. It connects membrane transport, electrophysiology, and signaling pathways with the function of major systemsβincluding nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, gastrointestinal, and endocrineβwhile highlighting clinical relevance and the mechanisms underlying human health and disease.
