The Digestive System: Systems of the Body Series

An integrated textbook on the digestive system, covering both the basic science and major diseases of the system - intended for medical students taking system-based, integrated courses.

Concise text covers the core anatomy and physiology in an integrated manner more suitable for the new system-based courses than anything else on the market.

Coverage of the necessary basic science is clinically driven - clinical cases used throughout chapters.

In addition to the extensive use of cases throughout the book, the final chapter gives a concise coverage of the major diseases of the system, equipping students for the much earlier contact with patients which occurs under the new curriculum.

Structure of the book encourages learning - objectives defined at the beginning of the chapter and self-assessment questions at the end.

Attractive, open two-colour page design.

Reasonable price makes series as a whole affordable.
