Campbell's Physiology Notes

An understanding of normal and abnormal body function is necessary if we are to understand the basis of clinical care. It is only when we understand normal physiology that the abnormal pathological situation makes any sense. Therefore a study of physiology is a necessary introduction to any student of the health care professions. If we can understand how the body functions in health and goes wrong in disease, we can readily apply this knowledge to the maintenance of health and the management of disease. Subjects are systematically taught in the text complemented by clear, explanatory diagrams.
