Fundamentals of medical physiology. Tutorial. 3rd edition, fixed and supplemented. Alipov N.N.

Modern physiology is a huge, constantly developing discipline. In order to keep up with its development, all new textbooks and guidelines are written, including an increasing amount of information. Unfortunately, this trend also has a flip side: behind a lot of new interesting facts, descriptions of physiological experiments and modern methods, the basic laws of physiology, a medical student and a doctor, are becoming increasingly difficult to isolate the necessary that is necessary to understand the work of the body, and as a result Physiology turns into a sum of knowledge, not a way of thinking - that is, the very essence of this discipline is lost. Meanwhile, there are clear universally recognized concepts of physiology, which, on the one hand, are the basis for its understanding, on the other - the theoretical base of the doctor’s work.

The book “Fundamentals of Medical Physiology” with an extremely accessible language sets out these concepts and preserved all the necessary modern knowledge. For a medical student, this book can serve as a compressed and clear course of physiology, and for a doctor the theoretical basis of his daily work, thereby “natural science at the patient’s bed”, which the classics of Russian medicine spoke about.
