Description
Gain a foundational understanding of how endocrine and metabolic physiology affects other body systems in health and disease, including the clinical dimensions of reproductive endocrinology. Endocrine and Reproductive Physiology, a volume in the Mosby Physiology Series, explains the fundamentals of this complex subject in a clear and concise manner, while helping you bridge the gap between normal function and disease with pathophysiology content throughout the book.- Helps you easily master the material in a systems-based curriculum with learning objectives, Clinical Concept boxes, highlighted key words and concepts, chapter summaries, self-study questions, and a comprehensive exam.- Includes nearly 200 clear, 2-color diagrams that simplify complex concepts.- Features clinical commentaries that show you how to apply what you've learned to real-life clinical situations.- Keeps you current with recent advances in endocrine physiology with expanded material on reproductive endocrinology and metabolism, and many updates at the molecular and cellular level.- Covers the latest developments in fertilization, pregnancy, and lactation, as well as fetal development, puberty, and the decline of reproductive function with age. Complete the Mosby Physiology Series! Systems-based and portable, these titles are ideal for integrated programs.- Blaustein, Kao, & Matteson: Cellular Physiology and Neurophysiology- Johnson: Gastrointestinal Physiology- Koeppen & Stanton: Renal Physiology- Cloutier: Respiratory Physiology- Pappano & Weir: Cardiovascular Physiology- Hudnall: Hematology: A Pathophysiologic Approach
