Endocrine physiology
Patricia E. Molina (Editor)
"[This book] provides comprehensive coverage of the fundamental concepts of hormone biological action. The content has been revised and edited to enhance clarity and understanding, and illustrations have been added and annotated to highlight the principal concepts in each chapter. In addition, the answers to the test questions at the end of the chapter have been expanded to include explanations for the correct answers. Figures have been added and others have been revised to enhance the understanding of important endocrine physiology concepts. --- The concepts herein provide the basis by which first and second year medical students will better grasp the physiologic mechanisms involved in neuroendocrine regulation of organ function. The information presented is also meant to serve as a reference for residents and fellows. The objectives listed at the beginning of each chapter follow those established and continually updated by the American Physiological Society for each hormone system and are the topics tested in Step I of the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE)."--Website of AccessMedicine
