505 _aSection I: Introduction: the general and cellular basis of medical physiology. Section II: Physiology of nerve and muscle cells: excitable tissue - nerve; excitable tissue - muscle; synaptic and junctional transmission; initiation of impulses in sense organs. Section III: Functions of the nervous system: reflexes; cutaneous, deep and visceral sensation; vision; hearing and equilibrium; smell and taste; arousal mechanisms, sleep and the electrical activity of the brain; control of posture and movement; autonomic nervous system; central regulation of visceral function; neural basis of instinctual behaviour and emotions; higher functions of the nervous system - conditioned reflexes, learning and related phenomena. Section IV: Endocrinology, metabolism and reproductive function: energy balance, metabolism and nutrition; the thyroid gland; endocrine functions of the pancreas and regulation of carbohydrate metabolism; the adrenal medulla and adrenal cortex; hormonal control of calcium metabolism and the physiology of the bone; the pituitary gland; the gonads - development and function of the reproductive system; endocrine functions of the kidneys, heart and pineal gland. Section V: Gastrointestinal function: digestion and absorption. Section VI: Circulation: circulating body fluids; origin of the heartbeat and the electrical activity of the heart; the heart as a pump; dynamics of blood and lymph flow; cardiovascular regulatory mechanisms; circulation through special regions; cardiovascular homeostasis in health and disease. Section VII: Respiration: pulmonary function; gas transport between the lungs and the tissues; regulation of respiration; respiration adjustments in health and disease. Section VIII: Formation and excretion of urine: renal function and micturition; regulation of extracellular fluid composition and volume; appendices.
520 _aThis review presents anatomic considerations, physiology and clinical examples. Ganong begins with an introduction to the cellular bases of medical physiology, and cell physiology is interwoven into the text where applicable.
