Product Description

Review
"The book covers all aspects of the physiology of the human body. The physiology of the nervous system is presented early in the book, which is advisable since the nervous system plays a significant role in the function of the other body systems." "A major strength is the regular revision, which provides as up-to-date information as possible in a book of this type." ..."it is an excellent source of current and complete information on medical physiology."

Product Description
This book provides a current and concise overview of mammalian and human physiology. Examples from clinical medicine have been integrated throughout the chapters to illuminate important physiologic concepts. The book includes more than 700 attractive and informative illustrations. A valuable self-study guide, which features content summaries, objectives, essay questions, and multiple-choice questions, is provided at the end of the book and is an excellent tool for students when reviewing for the USMLE and other examinations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Straight to the point!, 9 Jul 2003

By	Nehwyn "Nehwyn" - See all my reviews

Medical students everywhere have to fight between the need for complete comprehension of concepts and the limited time available for study... between the vast sea of notions that makes up modern Medicine and the need to stay focused on the really important aspects of each discipline. Well, Ganong is probably the best solution. Coming from a rather convoluted physiology textbook that drowned me with historical considerations and experimental methods, I was looking for a text that could not only provide detailed information with clarity and ease of use, but that also had to be extremely up-to-date. I found all that in Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology and thus I strongly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent with caveat, 29 Oct 2006

By	Tarek S. Arab "captflashheart" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Review of Medical Physiology (Lange Basic Science) (Paperback)

An excellent book for medical physiology, however one would be better off studying another book e.g. Guyton ,for cell and nervous system physiology. It is a shame that these two topics were so badly written as the book overall is a wonderful reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars No unnecessary details, 6 Oct 2002

By	"karl-david" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Review of Medical Physiology (International Students Edition) (Paperback)

Wow!
This is a compact book. 1 page of Ganong = 10 pages of "other" physiology books. Saves time for you. Has a good layout with handy tables, pictures and easy-to-read language. Excellently indexed. I recommend every new medical student to buy it.
