Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology 26th edition (twenty-sixth edition)

About this book

Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology 26th edition by Kim E. Barrett, Susan M. Barman, Heddwen L. Brooks, and Jason X.-J. Yuan explains the physiological mechanisms that maintain normal human function and homeostasis. The book connects cellular and molecular processes with organ system physiology, helping students understand how coordinated regulatory mechanisms control the nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, gastrointestinal, and reproductive systems.

The 26th edition covers cell physiology, membrane transport, excitable tissues, synaptic transmission, sensory and motor systems, autonomic regulation, endocrine hormones, reproductive physiology, cardiovascular dynamics, blood pressure regulation, respiratory mechanics and gas exchange, renal function, acid base balance, digestion, metabolism, and energy regulation. Clinical correlations help connect normal physiology with disturbances that occur in disease.

This book is intended primarily for medical students and students completing advanced human physiology courses. It is particularly useful for learning mechanisms rather than isolated facts, reviewing feedback systems, understanding relationships between organ systems, and preparing for examinations that require integration of cellular physiology with whole body function.

Medical students, physiology students, graduate biomedical science students, and other health science trainees can use this edition to review core mechanisms, clarify difficult physiological relationships, and strengthen understanding of integrated human function. The complete 26th edition is available as a searchable PDF enhanced digital version with instant access for physiology coursework, examination preparation, and focused review.
