The book covers the basics of physiology while avoiding excessive overlap with introductory biology or neuroscience. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Students will learn fundamental concepts of physiology, cell membrane transport, and signaling, membrane potentials, synapses, and the autonomic nervous system before exploring the physiology of specific organ systems in the body. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Organ systems covered in the text include the physiology of muscles, the endocrine system, the cardiovascular system, the respiratory and renal systems, and the gastrointestinal system. Students will also learn about regulation of the substrate metabolism and reproductive physiology. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The highly illustrative text covers basic principles without overloading the reader with excessive detail suitable for more advanced study. \u003cem\u003eFundamental Concepts in Physiology\u003c\/em\u003e is ideal for introductory courses in the discipline, as well as courses on human biology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChi-Ming Hai\u003c\/strong\u003e joined the faculty of Brown University as a professor of medical science after completion of his Ph.D. in physiology at the School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University.
