Now in its sixth edition, Color Atlas of Physiology covers the entire subject of human physiology and brilliantly reviews everything medical students need to know to pass their pre-clinical physiology exams. Sections include the nerves and muscles, blood, respiration, the cardiovascular system, digestion, and reproduction. Providing a concise review of each thematic unit, the popular and proven layout of the book’s double-page spreads with color illustrations and accompanying text allows for speedy comprehension and recall of key concepts.
In the present book an attempt has been made to apply physiology to medicine in the same way as anatomy has long been applied to surgery. Seeing that it is not intended to be a substitute for physiological textbooks, but merely a companion to them, all descriptions of methods have been omitted, and only the facts of physiology dealt with, chief emphasis being laid upon those which have a direct bearing upon clinical work; incidentally these bearings are pointed out.
To understand the effects of anesthesia and surgery on the nervous system, one needs to know basic cellular neurophysiology as well as organ-level physiologic function.

Brain Barrier Systems, Volume 29In recent years, many important developments have occurred in many research disciplines that are directly related to brain permeability. In morphological fields, the fine resolution provided by electron microscopy has resulted in new concepts of membrane structure. Electron microscopy, combined with autoradiography, have contributed significant information concerning dynamic events occurring in and around such membranes. Permeability measurements with drugs have led to new theories of the physical and chemical requirements which determine the penetration of drugs
This book contains relevant step-by-step information on how to detect, manage, and treat complications and emergencies during the perioperative period. Concisely written, highlighted sections reinforce essential points for easy memorization while consistent organization and checklists provide ease of learning and clarity. Anesthesia providers will find Anesthesia Emergencies an indispensable resource, describing assessment and treatment of life-threatening situations, including airway, thoracic, surgical, pediatric, and cardiovascular emergencies.
