A Comprehensive Textbook of Human Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology II
About This Book
This book was written for the student sitting the university paper in Human Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology II, and it was shaped by one observation about how that paper is usually taught. Peptic ulcer opens on the gastric mucosal barrier described in Chapter 4. Chronic kidney disease opens on the renal functions listed in Chapter 9, and traces each systemic consequence back to the one that was lost. Alzheimer's disease opens on the cholinergic transmission of Chapter 1. The intention is that a student should finish the course able to do what Course Outcomes 4 and 5 actually ask: to explain a disease as an altered mechanism, and to read a set of clinical findings back to the step that produced them.
Three further decisions shaped the writing. Mechanism is developed at length and name-lists are given compactly, usually as a labelled figure and a table rather than as running prose, because the mechanism is what has to be understood and the list only has to be available. Every classification is stated in full, with the basis of classification named, before any single member is developed.
