Clear, focused, and highly visual, Netter's Essential Physiology, 3rd Edition, uses a concise, clinical approach to help you grasp key concepts quickly and easily. Illustrated by the world-renowned Frank H. Netter, MD, and artists working in his tradition, this readable text combines easy-to-understand prose with clinical correlations, “light bulb” side notes, end-of-chapter questions, and helpful videos to ensure a complete understanding of complex content. It’s an ideal text for a basic understanding of physiology, as an overview of the subject, or as a supplement to lectures.

- Uses beautifully clear drawings and diagrams from the Netter collection to teach key points quickly, effectively, and memorably
- Contains "light bulb" boxes that use memorable details or examples to foster “a-ha” learning moments
- Includes expanded pathophysiology content with more clinical correlates, including the fallacy of race-dependent differences in normal GFR values and pulmonary function.
- Features new illustrations for GI physiology, and updated figures throughout to better reflect the diversity in human populations
- Contains more practice questions per section
- Provides video tutorials that explain challenging but essential physiology concepts
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, plus videos and additional self-assessment questions, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
