Physiology

This series of books reflects the trend towards a core curriculum and self-directed learning. The content is restricted to the must know core information presented in a synoptic style. The diagrams that support the text are in a style that the reader can remember and reproduce in examinations. Each chapter ends with a selection of self-assessment material and full explanatory answers. These consolidate and expand on the chapter contents. The series covers the entire curriculum in approximately twelve discipline-based volumes. Despite the use of problem - and/or topic-based curricula students still respond to the security of a well-ordered presentation of the basic information by traditional discipline.
