Vander's Human Physiology

Vander's Human Physiology, 16th Edition, provides basic science and clinical content examining the mechanisms of body function. Published by McGraw-Hill Higher Education, the textbook combines core explanatory text with digital resources, real-life applications, and educational technologies to support student learning.

Coverage focuses on central themes including homeostasis, exercise, and human health. The general principles of physiology serve as an underlying framework throughout the text, guiding the study of biological mechanisms across cellular, tissue, organ, and organ system levels.

To link foundational physiological concepts with pathophysiology, the text incorporates clinical case studies into its discussions. It also features integrated cases designed to draw together and synthesize material across the entire book.
