Principles of anatomy and physiology/

Abstract

This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the structure and functions of the human body, explaining how its various systems work together to maintain homeostasis. It covers the chemical, cellular, and tissue levels of organisation, followed by the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. Additional topics include metabolism, nutrition, fluid and electrolyte balance, acid–base regulation, development, and inheritance. Through detailed illustrations and clinical applications, the book links anatomical structures to physiological processes and common health conditions, supporting the study of human biology and health sciences.
