Emphasizing normal physiology, discussions of pathophysiology are also included to show how altered functions are involved in disease processes. Clinical Focus essays highlight how and where physiology relates to clinical medicine and diagnosis.New Integrated Medical Sciences essays highlight the connections between physiology and other basic sciences, such as pharmacology, biochemistry, and genetics.Extensive chapterrevisions in the Neuromuscular, Gastrointestinal, Renal, and Blood and Immunology parts have been provided by new expert contributors.End-of-chapter USMLE-style review questions, with answers and explanations, as well as new Clinical Application exercises, help students master the material.Conceptual diagrams facilitate comprehension of difficult concepts and presents both normal and abnorma
almost as good as Guyton Amazon Customer I used this book for an undergraduate renal/endocrine physiology class. For this material, it was excellent, but I still found myself referring back to my Guyton text fairly often.

I hope they've solved that problem.
