Description

The Fluid Framework of Life: Physiology of Body Fluids and Blood

Overview
The Fluid Framework of Life provides a detailed yet accessible exploration of the physiology of body fluids and blood, the very medium that sustains life. This book guides readers through the fundamental principles of fluid compartments, plasma proteins, lymphatic circulation, blood cell formation, hemoglobin, immunity, and hemostasis—bridging basic physiology with clinical relevance.

Designed for students of medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and allied health sciences, the text blends clarity with depth. Each chapter is supported by charts, classification tables, and systematic explanations to help learners grasp complex concepts with ease.

Key Features
