Cellular Physiology: Mosby's Physiology Monograph Series

Knowledge of cellular and molecular physiology is fundamental to understanding tissue and organ function as well as integrative system physiology. This textbook will help medical and graduate student's bridge the gap between basic biochemistry and molecular cell biology. There is a strong emphasis on functional relevance of cellular concepts to systems physiology. The text is illustrated throughout to help the reader understand fundamental concepts of cellular physiology. Learning tools in each chapter are supplemented with an extensive appendix that includes multiple choice questions with answers, a review of mathematical techniques and a summary of basic circuit theory.Uses discussions of molecular mechanisms to lay a foundation for understanding therapeutic interventions.
Provides frequent examples from systems physiology, pharmacology, and pathophysiology to underscore the clinical implications of the material.
Includes discussions of recently discovered molecular mechanisms to offer an up-to-date grasp of the field.
Offers comprehensive discussions of transport processes-which are integral to all physiological processes, yet are neglected in many other cell biology texts.
Sets mathematical derivations apart in special boxes, so they do not interrupt the flow of the text but are available for reading if desired.
Features an extensive appendix that includes multiple-choice review questions with answers, a review of mathematical techniques, and a summary of basic circuit theory.
