Human Physiology From Cells To Systems

The first Canadian edition of Lauralee Sherwood's Human Physiology: From Cells to Systems, has been substantially revised to meet the needs of Canadian students and instructors of physiology in core physiology programs, as well as related programs such as kinesiology, nursing, and zoology, where physiology represents an important component of the curriculum. A strong effort has been made by its author to highlight topics of research important to Canadians, and to include statistics, organizations, and researchers from Canadian schools, institutes, and hospitals. In addition to these changes, this edition also provides students and instructors with updated physiological concepts, new figures and tables, new trends in physiological research, and current and relevant examples of the body's function in disease, exercise and health.
