Do you want to understand physiological relationships more easily? 

Distinguish between physiological and pathophysiological processes?

Go into exams well prepared? No problem!

This textbook provides a comprehensive yet concise guide to all fields of physiology in Veterinary Medicine. The editors aimed to organise information to help preparation for lectures, seminars, and exams. The book is structured according to organ systems and function. Thus, you can rapidly grasp both basic knowledge and complex integrated systems.

Each physiological process is described with the help of numerous diagrams and readily understood key points to form the basis for study, research and continuing education!
