Description of Human Physiology: From Cells to Systems, 5th Edition:
Human Physiology, Fifth Canadian Edition, focuses on the mechanisms of body function from cells to systems and is organized around the central theme of homeostasishow the body maintains the internal constancy necessary for all cells and organs to function. The text fosters curiosity and enthusiasm while effectively teaching physiology as an enjoyable and comprehensible subject. It is the only title on the market that provides relevant Canadian examples, including Health Canada/Environment Canada and CIHR data and statistics. This edition also includes the latest physiological research in Canada and internationally on the body’s function with respect to disease, exercise, and health.
