This book was written to introduce students to the study of the endocrine system. The endocrine system has such divergent effects that endocrine actions permeate all discilpines of the practice of clinical medicine.therefore the study of the endocrine system can be fascinating, challenging, and clearly clinically relevant. Although this book was designed for preclinical medical students, it is also useful for graduate, allied health, and nursing students.
Endocrine Physiology is the culmination of 20 years of experience teaching first-year mdeical students.Because the endocrine system must typically be presented concisely in the first-year curriculum, this book is designed for a rapid,basic introduction to the endocrine system.Major pathologic conditions of the endocrine system are used as a vehicle for teaching its physilolgy. Expeditious revies of the material is facilitated by inclusion of objectives, summary boxes,highlighted words, a list of key words and conceptsm and a summary at the conclusion of each chapter. Study questions are provided in both short-answer and single-best-answer formats.
