Lippincott® Illustrated Reviews: Physiology

Enhanced with new Clinical Cases, new practice questions, and  additional animations, Lippincott ® Illustrated Reviews: Physiology, 3rd  Edition, brings physiology clearly into focus, detailing who we are,  how we live, and, ultimately, how we die.

Tailored for ease of use  and fast content absorption, the book’s straightforward outline format,  visionary artwork, clinical applications, and unit review questions help  students master the most essential concepts in physiology, making it  perfect for classroom learning and preparation for course and board  exams.
