Description
Medical Physiology + StudentConsult + StudentConsult in Spanish (3rd ed.)
Book Summary
This work is a fundamental reference in the study of physiology, recognized for its comprehensive approach that begins at the molecular and cellular level to explain the functioning of complete organs and systems. Designed both to pass the subject in the medical degree and for clinical practice, the text constantly integrates clinical correlation, offering the physiological bases of disease. With 62 chapters organized into 8 sections, it presents great homogeneity and numerous didactic resources, including access to StudentConsult with exclusive supplementary material.
What is it about?
The book addresses human physiology from a unique perspective, beginning with the cellular and molecular principles that underpin the functioning of each system. Throughout its pages, normal physiological mechanisms are explored in detail, but constant reference is also made to clinical correlation, which allows the reader to understand the pathophysiological bases of various diseases. The work is structured into eight sections that cover all body systems, ensuring complete and homogeneous coverage. Each chapter includes didactic elements that facilitate learning, and the Spanish edition offers access to online resources such as "online-only notes" and explanatory videos that complement the information in the text.
Main topics
- Cellular and molecular physiology as the basis for the functioning of organs and systems.
- Physiological mechanisms of the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, digestive, endocrine, and reproductive systems.
- Clinical correlation and pathophysiology of common diseases.
- Homeostasis and regulation of bodily functions.
- System integration for the maintenance of health.
Who is it recommended for?
This book is primarily aimed at medical students taking the Physiology course, as well as resident physicians and healthcare professionals who need a rigorous and up-to-date reference tool. It is also of great use to students in other health sciences, such as nursing, dentistry, or physical therapy, who require an in-depth knowledge of human physiology with a clinical focus.
What this book provides
- An integrative approach that connects molecular foundations with clinical practice, facilitating the understanding of pathophysiology.
- Access to exclusive online resources, such as 750 "online-only notes" translated into Spanish and didactic videos that reinforce the concepts of the text.
- A homogeneous and didactic structure in all chapters, with elements that favor study and information retention.
- A complete and updated view of physiology, endorsed by one of the most recommended references in the medical field.

Editorial review
This third edition of "Medical Physiology" consolidates its position as a reference text in the discipline, offering an exceptional balance between scientific rigor and clinical applicability. Its approach, which goes from the molecular to the systemic, is especially valuable for students seeking a deep and not merely rote understanding of physiology. The inclusion of online resources in Spanish, such as the supplementary notes and videos, adds significant didactic value, facilitating self-learning. It is, without a doubt, a recommended investment for those who want a solid foundation in physiology with a clear orientation toward medical practice.
