In the modern
world, visual pathways have outdistanced other avenues for informational input.
This book takes advantage of the economy of visual representation to indicate
the simultaneity and multiplicity of physiological phenomena. Although some
subjects lend themselves more readily than others to this treatment, inclusive
rather than selective coverage of the key elements of physiology has been
attempted. Clearly, this book of little more than 300 pages, only half of which
are textual, cannot be considered as a primary source for the serious student
of physiology. Nevertheless, it does contain most of the basic principles and
facts taught in a medical school introductory course. Each unit of text and
illustration can serve initially as an overview for introduction to the subject
and subsequently as a concise review of the material. The contents are as
current as the publishing art permits and include both classical information
for the beginning students as well as recent details and trends for the
advanced student.
