Description

Foundations of Human Physiology is a comprehensive, system-wise textbook that explains how the human body functions from the cellular level to integrated organ systems.

The book begins with general and cellular physiology, homeostasis, body fluids, blood, and immunity, then progresses through the nervous system, muscle physiology, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, renal, integumentary, endocrine, and reproductive systems. Special emphasis is placed on regulatory mechanisms, hormonal control, and physiological adaptations in health and disease.

Reproductive physiology is covered in depth, including male and female reproductive systems, gametogenesis, puberty, menstrual and ovarian cycles, pregnancy, placental function, parturition, lactation, and fertility control. These topics are presented with clarity and clinical relevance, making them essential for undergraduate medical education.

Written for MBBS, BDS, nursing, physiotherapy, pharmacy, and allied health students, this book serves as both a primary learning resource and a reliable reference for examination preparation.
