Essentials of Physiology for Dental Students

From Dentistry Made Simple Dentistry Made Simple

Outlines fundamental human physiology, beginning with cellular components and homeostasis, then progressing through major bodily systems. Specific sections cover the composition and function of blood (including blood groups, clotting, and immunity), muscle physiology (skeletal and smooth muscle contraction), and the digestive system (salivary, gastric, and pancreatic secretions). Additionally, the text details renal physiology (urine formation and acid-base balance), the endocrine system (hormones like insulin, thyroxine, and cortisol), the reproductive system, the cardiovascular system (cardiac cycle, output, and blood pressure regulation), and the respiratory system (gas exchange and regulation). Finally, the book addresses the nervous system, exploring topics such as reflexes, sensory pathways, and the special senses of vision and hearing.
