Physiology plays a major role in the scientific foundation of medicine and other subjects related to human health and physical performance. Pharmacology is the science which deals with the effects of drugs on living systems and their use in the treatment of disease. This book is designed to enhance students’ understanding of physiology and pharmacology via a series of case studies involving human disease and its treatment. Traditional university teaching methods focus on informing students in terms of physiological and pharmacological theory. This approach, although often extremely efficient and effective, may leave students in a position of remembering the facts and understanding the mechanisms but not necessarily being able. | Farideh Javid and Janice McCurrie Clinical Physiology and Pharmacology The Essentials WILEY Clinical Physiology and Pharmacology The Essentials Farideh Javid Division of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences School of Applied Sciences University of Huddersfield UK and Janice McCurrie School of Pharmacy University of Bradford UK WILEY-BLACKWELL A John Wiley Sons Ltd. .
