Description
NETTER ESSENTIALS OF PHYSIOLOGY 3RD ED
Book Summary
This new edition of the Netter-branded physiology manual offers a concise, visual study tool for nursing and health sciences students. The work combines clear exposition with iconic Netter illustrations to facilitate the understanding of complex physiological concepts. It includes margin notes, clinical correlations, and self-assessment questions that reinforce learning, along with access to additional material in English via the e-book+ platform.
What is it about?
The book covers the fundamental principles of human physiology, from the cellular level to systems integration. Its didactic approach prioritizes the connection between theory and clinical practice, using clinical correlation boxes to show the relevance of concepts in real-world scenarios. This edition updates and improves image quality, especially in the gastrointestinal area, and expands coverage of pathophysiology. It also incorporates updated content on gender differences in ischemic heart disease and racial variability in GFR values, and reflects population diversity in its illustrations.
Main Topics
- Cellular and systems physiology (nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine).
- Clinical correlation and pathophysiology applied to nursing practice.
- Homeostatic mechanisms and regulation of body functions.
- Gender differences and diversity in disease presentation (ischemic heart disease, GFR).
- Learning assessment through self-assessment questions and multimedia resources.
Who is it recommended for?
It is primarily aimed at undergraduate nursing students, as well as students in other health science degrees (physiotherapy, podiatry, occupational therapy) taking physiology courses. It is also useful for professionals who need to review or update their knowledge quickly and visually.
What this book offers
- Visual and structured learning thanks to Netter's figures, which facilitate the understanding of abstract physiological processes.
