**Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology, 25th Edition** **Authors:** - Kim E. Barrett, PhD - Susan M. Barman, PhD - Scott Boitano, PhD - Heddwen L. Brooks, PhD **Content Overview:** - **Preface:** The authors introduce the new edition, emphasizing the updates and improvements made to the text and graphics. - **Section I: Cellular & Molecular Basis for Medical Physiology** - **General Principles & Energy Production in Medical Physiology:** Discusses the basic building blocks of physiology, including electrolytes, carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, and nucleic acids. It covers the organization of body fluids and electrolytes, pH and buffering, and diffusion and osmosis. - **Section II: Central & Peripheral Neurophysiology** - Chapters cover various sensory and motor systems, including olfaction, vision, hearing, taste, reflexes, autonomic nervous system, brain activity, learning, memory, endocrine regulation, and reproductive systems. - **Section IV: Gastrointestinal Physiology** - Chapters provide an overview of gastrointestinal function, digestion, absorption, and metabolic functions of the liver. - **Section V: Cardiovascular Physiology** - Chapters cover the origin of the heartbeat, electrical activity of the heart, blood as a circulatory fluid, cardiovascular regulatory mechanisms, and circulation through special regions. - **Section VI: Respiratory Physiology** - Chapters introduce pulmonary structure and mechanics, gas transport, and pH regulation. - **Section VII: Renal Physiology** - Chapters discuss renal function, micturition, regulation of extracellular fluid composition and volume, acidification of urine, and bicarbonate excretion. **Key Features:** - **Graphical Enhancements:** The new edition features a thorough overhaul of the art program, including consistent coloring and diagrammatic schemes to aid understanding. - **Clinical Boxes:** Provide clinical applications and case studies to bridge the gap between basic principles and human physiology. - **Therapeutic Highlights:** Offer practical insights into treatment approaches for various conditions. **Dedication:** - The book dedicates a section to William Francis ("Fran") Ganong, a renowned scientist, educator, and author of the original *Review of Medical Physiology* series, who passed away in 2007. **About the Authors:** - Each author's background, research interests, and contributions to the field are highlighted, emphasizing their expertise in various aspects of medical physiology.**Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology, 25th Edition** **Authors:** - Kim E.
