An organ system-based approach clearly describes all of the mechanisms that control and regulate bodily function.
Key experimental observations and examples provide a rich understanding of the body's dynamic processes.
Student Consult access allows you to view the complete contents of the book online, anywhere you go, perform quick searches, tap into relevant bonus content from other Student Consult titles, test your understanding with USMLE-style review questions, add your own notes and bookmarks, and much more.
More "In the Clinic" and "At the Molecular Level" boxes help readers better understand and apply what they've learned.
New coverage includes expanded discussions of gut and lung microbiota,; the limbic system; the hypthalamus and control of food intake; cardiac and vascular function curves during exercise; new aspects of lipid absorption; GI and metabolic consequences of bariatric surgery, the role of innate lymphoid cells in defense of the respiratory system, molecular mechanisms in normal and pathological muscle contraction; arterial pulse changes with age and the ankle-brachial index; regulation of the blood-brain barrier and cerebral blood flow; the regulation of phosphate; and thyroid hormone mechanism of action.
Each chapter begins with an all-new bulleted list of questions and ends with key concepts covered in that chapter.
Bruce Koeppen, founding dean of the Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine at Quinnipiac, recently received two prestigious awards: honored by the Patient is U Foundation - a nonprofit that aims to encourage human communication in health care and support both patients and providers and the (LCME) Liaison Committee on Medical Education's 2019 Distinguished Service Award. Bruce Stanton received the Unsung Hero Award in 2019 from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. He played a key role in the development of Vertex modulators and is connected with sparking the creation of a Patient Registry which has had an enormous impact on the length and quality of lives in CF patients.
