Human physiology: an integrated approach

---

As you begin your study of the human body, you should be prepared to make maximum use of the resources available to you, including your instructor, the library, the Internet, and your textbook. One of my goals in this book is to provide you not only with information about how the human body functions but also with tips for studying and problem solving. Many of these study aids have been developed with the input of my students,
so I think you may find them particularly helpful. On the following pages, I have put together a brief tour of the special features of the book, especially those that you may not have encountered previously in textbooks. Please take a few minutes to read about them so that you can make optimum use of the book as you study.

One of your tasks as you study will be to construct for yourself a global view of the body, its systems, and the many processes that keep the systems working. This “big picture” is what physiologists call the integration of systems, and it is a key theme in the book. To integrate information, however, you must do more than simply memorize it. You need to truly understand it and be able to use it to solve problems that you have never encountered before. If you are headed for a career in the health professions, you will do this in the clinics. If you plan a career in biology, you will solve problems in the laboratory, field, or classroom. Analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information are skills you need to develop while you are in school, and I hope that the features of this book will help you with this goal.

In this edition we have continued to update and focus on basic themes and concepts of physiology. Chapter 1 introduces you to the key concepts in physiology that you encounter repeatedly as you study different organ systems. It also includes several special features: one on mapping, a useful study skill that is also used for decision-making in the clinics, and one on constructing and interpreting graphs. The new Chapter 1 Running Problem introduces you to effective ways to find information on the Internet.

A new element in this edition’s art program is the Essentials and Review figures. These figures distill the basics about a topic onto one or two pages, much as the Anatomy Summaries do. My students tell me they find them particularly useful for review when there isn’t time to go back and read all the text.
