Lippincott® Illustrated Reviews: Physiology

Lippincott® Illustrated Reviews: Physiology, 3rd Edition provides an organized study of human bodily systems for medical students and allied health students. Authored by Robin R. Preston and Thad E. Wilson and published by Wolters Kluwer Health, this textbook guides learners who are preparing for course and board exams through essential concepts in cell and tissue physiology as well as broad organ function.

The text structures complex physiological ideas into manageable, thematic study units. Specific sections explore mechanisms governing GI motility, systemic reflexes, and appetite regulation within the digestive system. Additionally, an expanded exercise chapter addresses physiologic limits alongside training effects to demonstrate how body systems respond to physical demands.

To clarify these biological pathways, the 590-page textbook features over 600 full-color, annotated illustrations. This integration of visual aids and structured explanations provides focused preparation for candidates tackling health science curricula.
