Product Description

Book 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. A valuable self-study guide, which features content summaries, objectives, essay questions, and multiple-choice valuable self-study guide, which features content summaries, objectives, essay questions, and multiple-choice questions, is provided at the end of the book. The 20th edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, with new and expanded content on topics such as gene expression; genetic basis of disease; immunology; sleep and waking states; molecular motors; normones of the heart; sleep apnea; and addition. With this edition, the self-study section focuses more on physiology in relation to disease, as reflective of a similar trend in the USMLE.

This title is a McGraw-Hill International Student Edition (ISE). McGraw-Hill has an on-going commitment to produce high quality books at reasonable prices and that's where the ISE programme comes in. ISEs of bestselling titles are produced in paperback (where practical), sometimes on thinner paper, and with black and white content only - and offered at reduced prices so that students get the same content for less!

If you would prefer to purchase the alternative edition then simply search for it under the same title. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

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