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! FEATURES f f More than 600 lively, full-color illustrations, the hallmark of the LIR series, painstakingly, and often humorously (watch for the jokes!), guide readers step by step through complex processes. f f Overviews and Chapter Summaries set clear goals for topic mastery and reemphasize essential concepts from each chapter in a coherent framework. f f Clinical Applications boxes and clinical images encourage readers to apply their knowledge, taking them from the classroom to the bedside. f f Margin Example Equation boxes and in-text boxes highlight memorable information and keep physiology in a real-world context. f f Consistent outline formatting makes critical information easy to access and assimilate.

April 2012 / Softbound / 7 x 10 232 pp. / Approx. 60 Illus. 978-0-7817-9524-1

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. FEATURES f f “Putting It Together” sections offer clinical scenarios. f f “Thought Questions” challenge students to use material in novel ways. f f “Editor’s Integrations” link concepts in one organ system to another. f f Chapter outlines, learning objectives, and bolded key terms highlight key concepts. f f End-of-chapter Q&As include detailed explanations. f f Online animations bring figures in text to life.
