This book is aimed at healthcare professionals, including Pharmacists, Nurses, Nursing students, students of professions allied to medicine, Paramedics, Ambulance Technicians, and Complementary Therapists. It retains the straightforward approach to the description of body systems and how they work, and the normal anatomy and physiology are followed by a section that covers common disorders and diseases: The human body is described system by system. The reader must, however, remember that physiology is an integrated subject and that, although the systems are considered in separate chapters, they must all function together for the human body to operate as a healthy unit.
