Secretions of the alimentary system -- 23. Digestion and absorption -- 24. Introduction to endocrinology -- 25. The pituitary gland and the hypothalamus -- 26. The thyroid gland -- 27. Adrenal cortex -- 28. Endocrine pancreas -- 29. Physiology of bone and calcium metabolism -- 30. Nutrition -- 31. Reproduction -- 32. Physiology of pregnancy -- 33. Introduction to neurophysiology -- 34. Brainstem motor mechanisms for posture and locomotion -- 35. Motor functions of the basal ganglia -- 36. Motor functions of the cerebellum -- Motor functions of the cerebral cortex -- 37. The sensory system -- 38. Vision -- 39. Physiology of audition -- 40. Physiology of taste and smell -- 41. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) -- 42. The electroencephalogram, sleep, wakefulness and the reticular activating system -- 43. The physiological basis of emotion -- 44. Specialized functions of the 'association cortex' -- 45. Physiology of exercise

Summary: This book provides a comprehensive working knowledge of human physiology using a format that ensures easy understanding. Extensive use of outlines and highlighting of key information, with a clear statement of the functions of each system facilitate study and recall. It focuses on fundamental principles which form the foundation for clinical practice rather than dwell on research details. Clinical relevance is emphasised throughout and certain diseases, which are peculiar to Africa, Asia and Pacific regions, are also included. At appropriate places, the book introduces common physiology practicals with illustrations thus bridging the gap between lectures and practicals. The ethnic differences are described as against Caucasian values in other books. This book makes interesting reading for undergraduate and postgraduate medical students and students of allied health professions.
