Medical Guyton and Hall Physiology
The 11th edition of Guyton and Hall Textbook of Medical Physiology continues this bestselling title's long tradition as one of the world's favorite physiology textbooks. The immense success of this book is due to its description of complex physiologic principles in language that is easy to read and understand. Now with an improved color art program, thorough updates reflecting today's medicine and science, and accessible online at studentconsult.com, this textbook is an excellent source for mastering essential human physiology knowledge.
- Learn and remember vital concepts easily thanks to short, easy-to-read, masterfully edited chapters and a user-friendly full-color design
- Extra-depth material (anatomical, chemical, clinical and other material) highlighted with gray shading to indicate material that may be useful for further understanding but is not essential to the main subject.
- Visualize physiologic principles clearly with many newly added or enhanced color figures.
- Discover the newest physiology principles with updated content that reflects the latest advances in molecular biology.
