DESCRIPTION
The complexity and copious number of details that
must be mastered in order to fully understand renal
physiology makes this one of the most daunting
and intimidating topics covered in the first year
of medical school. Although this is often only a
2-4 week module during the general physiology
course, it is essential that students understand
the foundations of renal physiology, and general
physiology texts are often not detailed enough to
provide students with what they need to master this
difficult subject.

DESCRIPTION
Lippincott’s Illustrated Reviews: Physiology
brings
physiology clearly into focus. Brand-new to the LIR
arsenal, it tells the story of who we are, how we
live, and, ultimately, how we die. By first identifying
organ function and then showing how cells and
tissues are designed to fulfill that function, LIR
Physiology decodes this discipline like no other text
or review book. Each element was tailored for ease
of use and fast content absorption, all combining to
bring this story to life for readers. Visionary artwork,
Clinical Applications, and Unit Review Questions
teach and reinforce the most essential concepts in
physiology—perfect for classroom learning and test/
board preparation!
