TGoals and Orientation
The purpose of this book remains what it was in the
first seven editions: to present the fundamental principles
and facts of human physiology in a format that
is suitable for undergraduate students, regardless of
academic backgrounds or fields of study: liberal arts,
biology, nursing, pharmacy, or other allied health professions.
The book is also suitable for dental students,
and many medical students have also used previous
editions to lay the foundation for the more detailed
coverage they receive in their courses
