Explore how the human body turns food into energy, controls temperature, and sustains life from the cellular to the whole-organism level. This edition dives into metabolism, nutrition, and the nervous system’s role in maintaining internal balance, offering practical insights into health and physiology.
Across chapters, you’ll see a clear map of how the body takes in materials, transforms them, and eliminates waste. It explains how oxidation and other chemical processes power the body, and how different foods and external conditions influence these processes. The text also outlines methods researchers use to study metabolism, making complex ideas accessible for readers who want a grounded view of human physiology.
Ideal for students, educators, and anyone seeking a thorough, readable overview of how the body stays alive, adapts, and ages.
