We all have a natural inquisitiveness about how the human body works. The aim of Human Physiology: From Cells to Systems, 4th Canadian Edition, (PDF) is to strengthen this enthusiasm and curiosity while effectively teaching physiology as a comprehensible and enjoyable subject. Structured around a central theme of homeostasis, the ebook offers uncluttered and streamlined content that combines topics and ideas throughout. Written for Canadian students in life science, kinesiology, zoology, nursing, and physical therapy, this latest 4th edition (Canadian) continues to emphasize important Canadian research, statistics, and researchers in addition to current examples of the body’s function in disease, exercise, and health. The new “Clinical Connection” feature offers even more real-world applications and connections to engage students and improve learning.
