Human Physiology
Florence C. Ricciuti
This new edition presents the fundamentals of human physiology to students in health sciences, physical education, and biological sciences. The authors, distinguished physiologists, collaborate with ten other field specialists to create the most accurate and current physiology text available. Human Physiology, 3/e presents physiology as a relevant and exciting discipline emphasizing many unanswered questions to stimulate critical thinking with an investigative approach. Concise chapters offer flexibility and more diversity than competing texts.
