"Human biology is the science that studies the human body through the lens of anatomy, human genetics and evolution, physiology, immunology, epidemiology and anthropology. It also provides the foundation for a scientific approach to the study of diseases in humans, which involves therapy diagnosis and prevention. The important sub-disciplines of human biology are pathophysiology, medical genetics, pharmacology, toxicology, pathology, etc. Some of the principal systems of the human body are the circulatory system, digestive system, the nervous system, respiratory system, muscular system and skeletal system. This text book attempts to understand the science of human biology in an interdisciplinary manner. This book is valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles in the field of human biology and related fields. Coherent flow of topics, student friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge."--Back cover
