The Textbook of Medical Physiology is not a referencebook that attempts to provide a compendium of the mostrecent advances in physiology. It is a book that continuesthe tradition of being written for students. It focuseson the basic principles of physiology needed to begin acareer in the health care professions, such as medicine,dentistry, and nursing, as well as graduate studies in thebiological and health sciences. It should also be usefulto physicians and health care professionals who wish toreview the basic principles needed for understanding thepathophysiology of human disease. We have attempted tomaintain the same unified organization of the text thathas been useful to students in the past and to ensure thatthe book is comprehensive enough that students will continueto use it during their professional careers.Our hope is that the Textbook of Medical Physiologyconveys the majesty of the human body and its manyfunctions and that it stimulates students to study physiologythroughout their careers. Physiology links the basicsciences and medicine. The great beauty of physiology isthat it integrates the individual functions of all the body’sdifferent cells, tissues, and organs into a functional whole,the human body. Indeed, the human body is much morethan the sum of its parts, and life relies upon this totalfunction, not just on the function of individual body partsin isolation from the others.
