Concise and well-organized, this advanced physiology and pathophysiology text promotes deep understanding of key pathophysiological concepts and relates them to major disorders commonly seen in practice. The second edition offers new features that add to its value in preparing the student clinician to care for patients with a broad variety of disorders, as well as coverage of new scientific advances.


With the aim of preparing students to be well-informed and confident decision makers in primary care settings, the text provides the key knowledge required to master pharmacology for prescriptive practice. Addressing both healthy organ function and disease-associated changes, it details and illustrates the cellular structure and function of each organ system and mechanisms of associated major clinical disorders. It examines the reasons patients often present with particular symptoms, the rationale for ordering specific diagnostic tests and interpretation of the results, and common management strategies that proceed from the underlying pathology. The text is replete with case studies to illustrate concepts, more than 500 images, key points to reinforce knowledge, and a glossary of essential terminology. Comprehensive instructor resources accompany the text. Print purchase includes online access to CourseConnect, an interactive learning platform.
