Did not think I would miss reading this， but it was a good run while it lasted。 For all of you who are starting or reading this， I would only say that you enjoy studying it while you can， after the exams it does not hold the same appeal。 For me it didn't。 Did not think I would miss reading this， but it was a good run while it lasted。 For all of you who are starting or reading this， I would only say that you enjoy studying it while you can， after the exams it does not hold the same appeal。 For me it didn't。 。。。more

تعلمت المادة في الجامعة السنة الدراسية الأولى الفصل الثاني 2012 والجزء الثاني بالسنة الدراسية الثانية الفصل الأول كان أستاذ علوم الأعصاب السيد بلال رحال مدرسا، لم يكن مرجعنا هذا الكتاب تحديدا لذلك سأعود إليه عند حاجتي لمعلومة تنقصني。

Excelente livro para uma doutoranda em fisiologia， como eu， montar aulas。 É dos mais aprofundados para nós da pós-graduação， mas traz uma linguagem muito adequada/didática， ao aprendizado dos nossos alunos。

As a medical student， this book is a 'must' book for medical student。 The book is quite complete but the language is a bit difficult to be undestood。 I prefer to read sherwood physiology than guyton。 But sherwood is not as complete as guyton。 So i just read guyton when i didn't find what i was looking for in sherwood。 As a medical student， this book is a 'must' book for medical student。 The book is quite complete but the language is a bit difficult to be undestood。 I prefer to read sherwood physiology than guyton。 But sherwood is not as complete as guyton。 So i just read guyton when i didn't find what i was looking for in sherwood。 。。。more

disclosure， i didn't read the whole book， just the first few chapters and then the nervous system chapters， which are great！ The book is extremely detailed for those who want to be informed about the nervous system's physiology。 It is not great on anatomy or cognitive neuroscience， but in doing what it advocates to do， it does a splendid job， disclosure， i didn't read the whole book， just the first few chapters and then the nervous system chapters， which are great！ The book is extremely detailed for those who want to be informed about the nervous system's physiology。 It is not great on anatomy or cognitive neuroscience， but in doing what it advocates to do， it does a splendid job， 。。。more

good book。it is true that it is considered to be the BIBLE of PHYSIOLOGY。but i want to clarify and add that it is the bible of EXPERIMENTAL physiology。。what does that mean ？it means that although it addresses medical physiology， it also spends a lot of extra time on experiments and theoretical concepts， models， molecular biology and biochemistry。。 which are not relevant to clinical medicine。。 making this book unnecessarily long。it is worth buying， some chapters are PHENOMENAL （especially chapter good book。it is true that it is considered to be the BIBLE of PHYSIOLOGY。but i want to clarify and add that it is the bible of EXPERIMENTAL physiology。。what does that mean ？it means that although it addresses medical physiology， it also spends a lot of extra time on experiments and theoretical concepts， models， molecular biology and biochemistry。。 which are not relevant to clinical medicine。。 making this book unnecessarily long。it is worth buying， some chapters are PHENOMENAL （especially chapter 25 on fluids and electrolytes and edema） and it is very elaborate on pathophysiology and how our systems go wrong。for most of what medical students and future doctors need， this book is overkill and is too detailed to memorize all of its information。according to my experience。。 Contanzo's physiology textbook is the perfect physiology book for medical students。。 it is literally half the size but has all the relevant information which you will need in medical school。。i highly recommend it over guyton。 its also far more enjoyable and retainable。bottomline:good book， larger than necessary， better to be used as a reference than a primary text。 。。。more

Physiology is not an easy subject。 It requires a good discussion and this book did that。 It is organized and direct to the point。 In fact， I understand Physio topics not because of my teachers but because of this book。 I owe Guyton and Hall。 They're good。 Physiology is not an easy subject。 It requires a good discussion and this book did that。 It is organized and direct to the point。 In fact， I understand Physio topics not because of my teachers but because of this book。 I owe Guyton and Hall。 They're good。 。。。more

I read this book when I was in medical school。 We were required to buy it and many of our lectures were referenced to this book。 I am a person of the book。 It is hard for me to absorb the salient points of a lecture so I read and read and read and re-read this book through my 4 years in medical school and my 4 years in residency。 It takes a long damned time to become a doctor but I must say the years of training and the 21 years I spent being an OB/GYN were amazing。 When I’d get called out from I read this book when I was in medical school。 We were required to buy it and many of our lectures were referenced to this book。 I am a person of the book。 It is hard for me to absorb the salient points of a lecture so I read and read and read and re-read this book through my 4 years in medical school and my 4 years in residency。 It takes a long damned time to become a doctor but I must say the years of training and the 21 years I spent being an OB/GYN were amazing。 When I’d get called out from my bed after a call from a nurse telling me it was time for me to come in due to a problem or an ordinary delivery I told myself that when birth ceased to be a miracle to me I’d quit。 That never happened。 I retired aware that I was getting older and my brain wasn’t as sharp as I wanted it to be。 The physiology in Guyton’s book is straight forward and comprehensible。 The human body and Guyton’s book is a revelation！ 。。。more

Textbook of medical physiology， Arthur C。 Guyton， 1986， ISBN 0721612601 “Treatment of obesity depends simply on decreasing energy input below energy expenditure。” （p。 866）This is a dangerous falsehood。When you lose weight by eating less than you burn， the weight you lose is muscle。It is muscle that burns calories 24/7， just by being there。Your body is very good at keeping you alive。 When you aren’t eating enough to maintain your body tissues， your body knows it is starving。 Your body consumes it Textbook of medical physiology， Arthur C。 Guyton， 1986， ISBN 0721612601 “Treatment of obesity depends simply on decreasing energy input below energy expenditure。” （p。 866）This is a dangerous falsehood。When you lose weight by eating less than you burn， the weight you lose is muscle。It is muscle that burns calories 24/7， just by being there。Your body is very good at keeping you alive。 When you aren’t eating enough to maintain your body tissues， your body knows it is starving。 Your body consumes its muscle first， to keep you from spending any more calories than necessary。 You also， when you consume very little food， immediately feel like doing nothing physical。 If you keep up a starvation regime for significant time， you train your body to be very still—to conserve every calorie。It is essential， when losing weight， to vigorously work all your muscles every day。 That is the only way to preserve muscle and burn fat。This is pretty basic physiology。That physicians are teaching each other， and their patients， these damaging lies， is criminal。What very fat people have in common is their complete stillness。 They got this by doing as doctors said: eat less。 The ones who got the fattest are the ones who had the most amazing willpower， to keep to the diet so long they lost massive amounts of weight—mostly muscle。 And trained their bodies Not。 To。 Twitch。 And， with so few calories coming in， adopted the most extremely sedentary habits。Success: starvation works。 Weight is down。 Congratulations。 Now you have minimal muscle， you don’t fidget， you don’t twitch， and your body has been screaming at you for a long time， “I’m starving！ I’m hungry！” You finally have to pay attention。 You eat。 Restore the tissues。 Now the muscle is gone， what you eat you don’t burn。 Now you’ve trained your body not to twitch， you burn very few calories。 Now you’ve lost the habit of regular physical activity， you’re eating again finally， you gain fat。Satiety is another casualty of following medical advice。 Your body is very good at matching how much it tells you it needs to eat， to how much energy you burn—over a wide range of levels of activity。 Only at the most sedentary level—where your body tells itself， “OK！ We aren’t walking much now！ Now’s our chance to put on fat for the lean times ahead！” And at the most physically exhausting level—where your body says， “You tapped me out。 I don’t have strength even to eat much right now。 Let me rest。” Only at these extremes does your appetite not match your energy needs。 You can， deliberately， eat a different amount than your body tells you it needs—at least for a while。 But a starvation diet will increase appetite and destroy your ability to burn much fuel。The advice the medical profession has been， and still is， teaching itself and its patients， is criminal。Permalink:worldcat。org/profiles/Tom2718/reviews。。。goodreads。com/review/show/2470616362goodreads lets you post a comment。 。。。more

In-Depth Coverage of Advanced PhysiologyIf you are looking for a quick overview for a test， this book is probably not your best bet。 However， it is excellent for gaining a profound understanding of physiology for advanced health sciences。 If it had more review problems and case studies， I would give it five stars， but as is， it was worth the money for the kindle version （the physical textbook will add considerably to the weight of a backpack）。
