Medical Physiolgy book reviewthe product i ordered arrived in the very good condition that was described by the seller. the book arrived very quickly and i was satisfied with the product
The Best Physiology Book!!This is a fantastic book... the diagrams are amazing and well detailed!! It goes into significant depth about biochemical processes behind the general physiology!.... in fact i even use it for a bit of intro into biochemistry, before i dive into Stryer or Alberts or Devlin!
The signal transduction is covered very well.... although a lot of repetition but its good in a way as you don't have to read the entire book just to understand a basic point.
But the Neurophys isn't that detailed i would say and they could improve the Endocrine system and add a bit more on Blood!... but what is in this book is still amazing!!
This book is way better than Guytons!!.... which in my opinion is like story book!
Reading about membrane potentials is a joke form Guytons compared to Boron!
Saviour of First YearSo it was in the middle of my fresher's alcoholic haze that I decided I'd better purchase a decent physiology text for the next 2 years of my course. Armed with book vouchers I simply dived into this book at the shop because the cover was pretty.
Why do I love this book so much? Not just the cover, but the rest of the illustrations are SO useful in understanding pathways & interactions which are covered in more traditional texts by a few paragraphs of block text.
The book is ideal for people who struggle with physiology - I've spent hours searching libraries and the internet for information sometimes, but it's always covered in B&B. Concepts are outlined at the beginning of a chapter and covered in increasing depth as the chapter progresses logically. It is impossible to get lost in this book - each new chapter covers a discreet topic.
A must for any medic! (It's getting me through first year no trouble at all)
Also comes with Student Consult access - internet site which has additional diagrams and information for every chapter which had to be left out of the book in the interest of brevity.
B&B is fantastic as you can read into each topic in ever increasing depth and be armed with the perfect foundations of knowledge to undertake further reading or simply do well in exams!
Awesome textbook for my course...The diagrams and tables are absolutely awesome. The textbook combines recent understanding of both Physiology and Biochemistry explaining it in detail how they are related in the topics mentioned. Even Voet Voet Pratt's latest edition of Fundamentals of Biochemistry didn't cover an important biocehmical topic for my medical course I managed to find in Boron and Boulpaep.
A brilliant textbook!
an essential textbook
This is a comprehensive textbook, covering every aspect of human physiology. The content is structured by body systems with a final section on an integrated multi-system approach to metabolic rates and adaptations. It is written in a readable and student-friendly style making it suitable for both medical undergraduates and other health professionals. One of it's main strengths are the extensive, high quality colour diagrams, (which tie in well with the text), plus text boxes relating the physiology to clinical examples. Direct links to references on the associated website are included, giving the reader access to expansion of concepts, further clinical illustrations and relevant developments following publication.
