Berne & Levy Physiology, 7th Edition, is a comprehensive textbook that uses an organ system-based approach to explain how the human body controls and regulates its internal functions. Authored by Bruce M. Koeppen and Bruce A. Stanton, the volume integrates biophysics and neurophysiology throughout its discussion of dynamic physiological mechanisms.

Coverage spans foundational cellular mechanisms, nervous system signaling, and muscle function, alongside systemic analyses of the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, endocrine, and reproductive systems.

Intended for medical students and faculty, this edition incorporates full-color artwork and key experimental observations. Student Consult access provides digital text searches and USMLE-style review questions for study practice.
