<br/><br/> "Lippincott Illustrated Reviews: Physiology brings the discipline clearly into focus, telling the story of who we are; how we live; and, ultimately, how we die. By first identifying organ function and then showing how cells and tissues are designed to fulfill that function, this resource decodes physiology like no other text or review book. Tailored for ease of use and fast content absorption, the book’s outline format, illuminating artwork tightly integrated with the text, clinical applications, and unit review questions help you master the most essential concepts in physiology, making it perfect for classroom learning and test and boards preparation."--Back cover<br/>
