Essentials of human physiology for pharmacy /

Abstract

Essentials of Human Physiology for Pharmacy by Laurie J. Kelly introduces the fundamental principles of human physiology with particular emphasis on their relevance to pharmacy practice. The book examines cellular physiology, membrane potentials, nerve signalling, the nervous and endocrine systems, muscular function, cardiovascular physiology, respiration, digestion, and renal function. It explains how tissues and organs work together to maintain homeostasis and includes pharmacy applications that connect physiological mechanisms with the study and use of medicines. The text is a useful learning resource for pharmacy students and other health sciences students studying human physiology and its clinical applications.
