Beskrivning

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.

Mer om författaren

About our author Dee Unglaub Silverthorn studied biology as an undergraduate at Newcomb College of Tulane University, where she did research on cockroaches. For graduate school, she switched to studying crabs and received a PhD in marine science from the Belle W. Baruch Institute for Marine and Coastal Sciences at the University of South Carolina. Her research interest is epithelial transport in systems ranging from the crab gill to the chick allantoic membrane.Dr. Dee has taught in a variety of settings, from medical schools (Medical University of South Carolina, Dell Medical School, UT-Austin) to high school. For most of her career, at the University of Texas - Austin, she has taught undergraduate and graduate physiology lectures and labs, and she trains graduate students to develop teaching skills in the life sciences. Dr. Dee has received numerous teaching awards and honors, including a UT System Regents’ Outstanding Teaching Award, the American Physiological Society (APS) Arthur C. Guyton Physiology Educator of the Year, and multiple UT–Austin awards, including the Burnt Orange Apple Award.Dr. Dee is past president of the APS (2022-23) and the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (2012–2013), She has served as editor-in-chief of Advances in Physiology Education and is currently an associate editor. She works with members of the International Union of Physiological Sciences to improve physiology education globally, and this book has been translated into 7 languages. Her free time is spent creating multimedia fiber art, gardening, and enjoying the Texas hill country with her husband, Andrew, and their dogs.
