Everyday Physiology: on a Need to Know Basis Mark Milanick 1. utgave

Finally, a physiology book that you can understand. Reading this book feels like you are having a conversation with a physiology professor who avoids jargon and has a knack for analogies that actually make sense. Do you ever wonder about how Viagra? works? Whether soda is really bad for bones? Why do spicy foods make you sweat? This book will make an excellent high school graduation gift as in provides non-judgmental discussion of the physiology of alcohol, loud noises, health and sexually transmitted infections. Pre-medical students and first year medical students will find this a fun read for reviewing and refining their knowledge of clinically relevant physiology. The writing style is causal and conversational; the approach minimizes the jargon and stresses general concepts of physiology as well as critical scientific thinking.
