An innovative, organ-specific text that blends basic science with the fundamentals of clinical medicine Part of the Human Organ Systems series, Respiratory: An Integrated Approach to Disease skillfully bridges the gap between the science and practice of medicine. This beautifully illustrated book seamlessly integrates the core elements of cell biology, anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and pathology with clinical medicine. It is the perfect companion for medical students transitioning to their clinical years, as well as for practicing physicians who need a user-friendly update on the basic science underlying the practice of clinical medicine. Features and highlights include: Detailed learning objectives clearly state learning goals Key concepts are emphasized in every chapter The latest developments in the field are incorporated throughout the text Numerous high-quality illustrations with detailed legends clarify important or difficult concepts Clinical Correlations highlight the clinical implications of basic science Each chapter is accompanied by an annotated bibliography to enhance the learning experience and provide an overview of the critical literature in the field End-of-chapter case-based questions with detailed explanations reinforce important concepts and assess understanding of the material A valuable Glossary of common phrases, terms, abbreviations, and acronyms Andrew Lechner, Ph.D. Professor Department of Pharmacological and Physiological Science School of Medicine St. Louis University Series Editor Paul Schmitz, MD, FACP, CSH Professor of Internal Medicine Program Director, Internal Medicine Division of Nephrology School of Medicine St. Louis University Table of contents Anatomy and Physiology of the Respiratory System 1.

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages.
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages.
