Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach, Global Edition
Kaup valmöguleikar
Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach hjálpar þér að öðlast heildarsýn á líkamann, líffærakerfi hans og þau fjölmörgu ferli sem halda þeim starfandi. Bókin gengur lengra en að leggja staðreyndir á minnið og hvetur þig til að þjálfa hæfni þína í að greina, samþætta og meta upplýsingar. Höfundurinn byggir á virkri kennslunálgun sinni og tengir meginþemu námsefnisins við nýjustu þekkingu á frumu- og sameindalífeðlisfræði.
Í 9. útgáfu hefur umfjöllun um ónæmiskerfið verið endurskoðuð og aukin verulega í ljósi heimsfaraldurs SARS-CoV-2. Aukin áhersla er lögð á grunnhugtök lífeðlisfræðinnar, sem skiptast í fjóra hluta bókarinnar, og nýjum sjónrænum námsgögnum er ætlað að auðvelda þér að tengja hugtökin saman og átta þig á samhengi þeirra. Fjallað er ítarlega um fjölmargar nýjar og uppfærðar rannsóknir, meðal annars á sviði viðbragðsboga, líkamsþyngdarstuðuls (BMI), þekjufrumna í öndunarvegi, slímseigjusjúkdóms, oxýtósíns og einhverfu, auk COVID-19 og skerðingar á bragð- og lyktarskyni.
Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach helps you construct for yourself a global view of the body, its systems, and the many processes that keep the systems working. Moving beyond straight memorization, it encourages you to develop skills in analyzing, synthesizing and evaluating information. The author builds on her active learning instruction style and integrates big picture themes with the most current cellular and molecular physiology topics.
The 9th Edition extensively revises and increases coverage of the immune system in light of the global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. It focuses more heavily on the Core Concepts of Physiology organized in the book’s 4 units, and adds new visual learning aids to help you integrate and navigate those concepts. Abundant new and updated research and discussion throughout includes reflex loops, body mass index (BMI), airway epithelial cells, cystic fibrosis, oxytocin and autism, COVID-19 and loss of taste and smell, and much more.
