This series provides a straightforward and comprehensive reference source for anaesthesiologists and students alike. Physiology for Anaesthesiologists reviews all aspects of human physiology, with an emphasis on how those principles relate to the practice of anaesthesiology. The text explains the various systems of the human body, from the central nervous system to the liver and kidneys, and how they interact with each other. The section on pain, for example, explains how the body warns of dysfunction in one or more systems. The whole series is targeted to anaesthesiologists and those in training, but medical students in any field could benefit from the knowledge presented so clearly here.
