Munis, MD, PhD, Consultant, Division of Neuroanesthesia, and Department of Physiology and Biomedical Engineering; and Assistant Professor ofAnesthesiology and of Physiology, College of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota. Klappentext Just Enough Physiology takes the reader on a guided tour of cardiopulmonary physiology. You'll discover how the heart, lungs, and circulation work in extreme environments so that you're better equipped to understand how they function - or malfunction - at the bedside, in the operating room, or in the intensive care unit. Like the brain teasers that are included at the end of each chapter, Just Enough Physiology emphasizes the logic, and not just the details, behind physiology. Just Enough Physiology will prepare all students and physicians-in-training for board exams while also teaching them how to think like a physiologist.
