Physiology for Anaesthesiologists

This series provides a straightforward and comprehensive reference source for anesthesiologists and students alike.

Volume 2: Physiology reviews all aspects of human physiology, with an emphasis on how those principles relate to the basic practice of anesthesiology.

The text explains the various systems of the human body, from the central nervous system to the liver and kidneys.

The reader gains an understanding not only of each system discussed, but also of how each of those physiologies interact with each other.

The section on pain, for example, explains how the body warns of dysfunction in one or more systems.

The whole series is targeted to anesthesiologists and those in training in the field, but medical students in any field could benefit from the knowledge presented so clearly here.
