Fundamental Physiological Principles, Movement Through Membranes, Renal Physiology, Neuroanatomy, Membrane Action Potentials, Reflex Functions, Sensory Physiology I: Cutaneous, Hearing, Sensory Physiology II: Vision, Reproductive Physiology, Digestion, Smooth Muscle Motility, Insulin Regulation of Blood Glucose, Measurement of Metabolic Rate, Thyroid Function, Nerve-Muscle Activity, Cardiac Function, Human Cardiovascular Function, Respiratory Function, Regulation of Circulation and Respiration, Blood Physiology I: Erythrocyte Functions, Blood Physiology II: Leukocytes, Blood Types, Hemostasis , Physical Fitness, Physiology of Exercise, Appendix A: Precautions for Handling Blood. For all readers interested in physiology.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Key Benefit:Known for its clear language, logical organization, and range of exercises, this versatile manual covers all the material needed for a one-semester laboratory course and can be used with any book. Over 90 exercises are organized into 23 chapters that are suitable for a two- or three-hour lab period. This revision retains Tharp/Woodman's simple, clear artwork, challenging lab report questions, and strong technology integration—including PowerLab, Vernier, and PhysioEx. Now spiral-bound for ease of use, the Tenth Edition includes new activities and increases focus on clinical applications and critical thinking questions.

Topics: Fundamental Physiological Principles, Movement through Membranes, Renal Physiology, Neuroanatomy, Membrane Action Potentials, Reflex Functions, Sensory Physiology I: Cutaneous, Hearing, Sensory Physiology II: Vision, Reproductive Physiology, Digestion, Smooth Muscle Motility, Regulation of Blood Glucose, Measurement of Metabolic Rate, Thyroid Function, Nerve-Muscle Activity, Cardiac Function, Human Cardiovascular Function, Respiratory Function, Blood Physiology I: Erythrocyte Functions, Blood Physiology II: Leukocytes, Blood Types, Hemostasis, Physical Fitness, Physiology of Exercise, Appendix A  Solutions, Appendix B  Tables and Nomograms, Appendix C  Data Acquisition Units
