“Physiology” is a textbook on Human Physiology, written in English for better underdstanding of physiology by English-speaking students, contains basic educational materials according to the Physiology Course Program. The edition contains information about all parts of discipline, paying attention to basic requirements of the credit module system of teaching in relation to improvement of students' self-study. Together with basic mechanisms of organs and organ systems functioning, principles of organism neuro-humoral regulation in normal conditions, adaptative-compensatory mechanisms in stressed conditions or other factors, initial data on functioning failure of each organ are given in this textbook.
Clear, detailed content of each chapter with selection of major details on every theme, understandable definition of main data, definitions and classifications with additional graphical material allow students to easily find out the main aspects of each theme.
The textbook can also be useful to teachers working in educational medical institutions with English-speaking students.
Підручник з фізіології людини, викладений англійською мовою для кращого опанування англомовними студентами знань з фізіології, містить основний навчальний матеріал за програмою курсу фізіології. Видання містить інформацію про всі розділи дисципліни, зважаючи на основні вимоги кредитно-модульної системи навчання стосовно покращення самостійного вивчення навчального матеріалу. Разом із висвітленням основних механізмів функціонування органів та систем органів, принципів нервово-гуморальної регуляції функцій організму людини за умов норми, адаптаційно-пристосувальних механізмів за умов дії стресорних чи інших чинників, у підручнику наведені початкові дані про порушення функціонування кожного з органів.
Чітка, обдумана рубрифікація змісту кожного розділу з виділенням найважливіших деталей кожної теми, чітке формулювання основних положень, визначень та класифікацій із додатковим винесенням матеріалу лекції в рисунки та схеми дозволяють студентам легко з’ясувати головні аспекти кожної з тем.
Підручник може бути також корисний для викладачів, які працюють в навчальних медичних закладах з англомовними студентами.
