Manna Soumen (ed.) Review of Physiology

2nd edition. — Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers, 2018. — 591 p.This book is intended to aid basic understanding of the subject to the students who are preparing for the postgraduate medical entrance examination (PGMEE). It is a concise review of key physiologic principles and is intended to help the students recall material taught during their first years MBBS. It is not intended to substitute for comprehensive textbooks, although the students may find it a useful adjunct to physiology and pathophysiology courses. The material in this book is organized by organ system into eight sections which are further divided into nineteen chapters. These sections include general physiology, nerve-muscle physiology, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, central nervous system, renal system, gastrointestinal system, and endocrine & reproductive system. Each chapter begins with a concise theory of each topic, followed by multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and their clear, concise, proper explanations with references of the standard textbooks and/or research papers. Important points have been kept in the ‘side boxes’ so that the students can revise the book easily within a short period of time. New flow charts, diagrams and tables have also been added in this edition. One new chapter is also added in this edition which is “Male and Female Reproductive Physiology” as chapter number 18.Body Fluid: Distribution and Measurement
