Description
**Selected for 2025 Doody's Core Titles® in Physiology**Clear, focused, and highly visual, Netter's Essential Physiology, 3rd Edition, uses a concise, clinical approach to help you grasp key concepts quickly and easily. Illustrated by the world-renowned Frank H. Netter, MD, and artists working in his tradition, this readable text combines easy-to-understand prose with clinical correlations, "light bulb" side notes, end-of-chapter questions, and helpful videos to ensure a complete understanding of complex content. It's an ideal text for a basic understanding of physiology, as an overview of the subject, or as a supplement to lectures.- Uses beautifully clear drawings and diagrams from the Netter collection to teach key points quickly, effectively, and memorably- Contains "light bulb" boxes that use memorable details or examples to foster "a-ha" learning moments- Includes expanded pathophysiology content with more clinical correlates, including the fallacy of race-dependent differences in normal GFR values and pulmonary function.- Features new illustrations for GI physiology, and updated figures throughout to better reflect the diversity in human populations- Contains more practice questions per section- Provides video tutorials that explain challenging but essential physiology concepts- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, plus videos and additional self-assessment questions, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloudEvolve Instructor site with image bank is available to instructors through their Elsevier sales rep or via request at https://evolve.elsevier.com
