Extensively revised and updated, this fourth edition of Physiology at a Glance continues to provide a thorough introduction to human physiology, covering a wealth of topics in a comprehensive yet succinct manner.

The market-leading at a Glance series is favored by healthcare students and newly qualified practitioners for its concise approach and excellent illustrations. Each chapter is presented in a double-page spread with clear diagrams and succinct explanatory text. This comprehensive guide covers the structure and function of the lungs and airways, including history, examination, pathophysiology, treatment, and management of major respiratory disorders. The revised 5th edition incorporates recent advances in the understanding and treatment of conditions such as asthma, COPD, pulmonary vasculitis, sarcoidosis, cystic fibrosis, and respiratory infections, including COVID-19. The accompanying website features self-assessment case studies, flashcards, and MCQs to enhance learning and review. Key topics include the respiratory system's structure and function, gas laws, acid-base balance, control of breathing, pulmonary circulation, and the impact of exercise and altitude. It also addresses public health issues, respiratory failure, and the management of chronic respiratory disorders. This resource is ideal for those beginning a respiratory module or rotation, appealing to medical students, junior doctors, nurses, dentists, physiotherapists, technicians, and biomedical scientists. The new edition is also available as an e-book. For more information on Wiley's nursing and health publishing, visit their website.
