Download or read book A Thinking Approach To Physiology written by Ian N Sabir and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2008-04-04 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas other fields continue to become more complex and specialized, physiology happily remains an area that can still be understood by thinking from first principles. However, given the increasing quantity of information available today, it is easy to become overly concerned with details and give in to the temptation to memorize rather than understand. In this concise book, the authors convey their enthusiasm for physiology and convincingly persuade the reader that with a sound understanding of principles, details often fall effortlessly into place. It is by no means an attempt to produce another comprehensive textbook. Instead, a broad overview of the subject is presented, covering areas that are not given the attention they deserve in other texts whilst purposely omitting those aspects where memorization is an unfortunate necessity.

Download or read book Writing in the Life Sciences written by Laurence S. Greene and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practicing scientists know that the quality of their livelihood is strongly connected to the quality of their writing, and critical thinking is the most necessary and valuable tool for effectively generating and communicating scientific information. Writing in the Life Sciences is an innovative, process-based text that gives beginning writers the tools to write about science skillfully by taking a critical thinking approach. Laurence Greene emphasizes "writing as thinking" as he takes beginning writers through the important stages of planning, drafting, and revising their work. Throughout, he uses focused and systematic critical reading and thinking activities to help scientific writers develop the skills to effectively communicate. Each chapter addresses a particular writing task rather than a specific type of document. The book makes clear which tasks are important for all writing projects (i.e., audience analysis, attending to instructions) and which are unique to a specific writing project (rhetorical goals for each type of document). Ideal for Scientific Writing courses and writing-intensive courses in various science departments (e.g., Biology, Environmental Studies, etc.), this innovative, process-based text goes beyond explaining what scientific writing is and gives students the tools to do it skillfully.

Download or read book Bucket Diagrams written by Herbert F. Janssen and published by Texas Tech University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complexities of renal function can be a challenge for medical and allied health students to learn and for professors to teach. To make the teaching and learning process easier for both parties, Bucket Diagrams was developed as a study guide. Each section is prefaced with learning objectives and includes a detailed explanation of the concepts being covered. The examples provided in each section test the student's ability to achieve these objectives and to understand the concepts. The book is divided into the following sections: Basic Rules, General Concepts, Glomerular Capillary Filtration, Insulin Excretion, PAH Excretion, Glucose Excretion, Urine Concentrating Mechanisms, Body Fluids, Corrections Section, and Self-Test Questions and Answers. Bucket Diagrams were first developed as a teaching aid in a comparative animal physiology course. The name "bucket diagram" was supplied by an unknown student in medical physiology. Despite being unsophisticated, it is descriptive and unforgettable.

Download or read book Physiology by Numbers written by Richard F. Burton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-04-20 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thinking quantitatively about physiology is something many students find difficult. However, it is fundamentally important to a proper understanding of many of the concepts involved. In this enlarged second edition of his popular textbook, Richard Burton gives the reader the opportunity to develop a feel for values such as ion concentrations, lung and fluid volumes, blood pressures etc. through the use of calculations which require little more than simple arithmetic for their solution. Much guidance is given on how to avoid errors and the usefulness of approximation and 'back-of-envelope sums'. Energy metabolism, nerve and muscle, blood and the cardiovascular system, respiration, renal function, body fluids and acid-base balance are all covered, making this book essential reading for students (and teachers) of physiology everywhere, both those who shy away from numbers and those who revel in them.

Download or read book Human Physiology written by Cheryl Watson and published by Jones & Bartlett Learning Titl. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Hands-On, Student-Friendly Approach to Human Physiology Human Physiology is a comprehensive text designed to provide students with in-depth knowledge and appreciation of the fundamentals of human physiology. Each chapter of this innovative text integrates real-world case studies that allow students to exercise new skills. In addition, two continuing clinical case studies threaded throughout the text support students in understanding the ways in which physiological systems are affected by clinical conditions. The text's structure encourages students to think in terms of larger structures and mechanisms, develop critical-thinking skills, apply knowledge, and synthesize information, rather than simply memorize facts. Thorough enough to give students a strong grounding in physiological concepts, but accessible and learner-friendly enough for an introductory text, Human Physiology is ideally suited for single-semester human physiology courses. The text grounds students in cellular communication, the autonomic nervous system, and the endocrine system, giving readers the necessary knowledge base on which to build a critical approach to new and unfamiliar problems. Each chapter pushes students to integrate new knowledge into what they have already learned, increasing learner confidence and concept retention. By helping students master the fundamental physiological mechanisms known today, Human Physiology equips them with the skills to integrate the physiological processes that will be discovered in the future.
