Physiology and Anatomy: A Homeostatic Approach provides a modern approach to understanding how the human body functions in health and disease. Based on systems, the text uses homeostatic principles as a unique guiding concept throughout all the chapters.The format and content of this second edition facilitate the learning of human physiology by providing a framework for learning that takes the reader through 'basic' structure and function to more complex issues of clinical disorder and health care practice.

The third edition of Physiology and Anatomy for Nurses and Healthcare Practitioners: A homeostatic approach presents homeostasis as a dynamic concept that provides the basis for understanding health and well-being. It recognises how failure to respond to homeostatic disturbances results in imbalances responsible for signs and symptoms of ill-health, and describes how healthcare interventions seek to reverse those imbalances. Accompanied by colour illustrations and a description of related anatomy, the book provides an integrated explanation of body functioning. It discusses the organisation of the human body, main features and processes that must be controlled for health, the organ systems that act as homeostatic regulators, and effectors of homeostatic regulation. It also discusses influences on homeostasis and provides case studies that place examples of ill health and health care into the context of homeostasis. Features of the third edition include: <ul>
<li>An overview of microbiology and principles of infection management</li> <li>Expanded information on pharmacological principles and actions of the major classes of drugs</li> <li>Expanded discussion on physiological functions in relation to specific pathologies </li> <li>Updates on how the Human Genome project has impacted healthcare</li> <li>Additional case studies to illustrate the healthcare provider’s role as an external agent of homeostatic control </li> <li>Photographs of common clinical conditions </li> <li>Access to an accompanying website with supplemental information</li> </ul>
An essential physiology and anatomy text, this book guides readers through the basic structure and functions of the body systems to more complex issues of clinical disorders and healthcare practice. Coverage includes the cardiovascular, lymphatic, nervous, endocrine, reproductive, and respiratory systems as well as skeletal muscle, embryo development, and circadian rhythms.

Perioperative Practice: Fundamentals of Homeostasis

Written by experienced nurse lecturers and a theatre nurse, Perioperative Practice highlights and explains the biological processes which can be disrupted by a major surgical procedure. Using the concept of homeostasis as a framework, the authors look at issues common to all surgical procedures such as the influence of anaesthesia on the nervous system or perioperative pain management. Individual chapters cover: <ul>
<li>the human body and principles of homeostasis</li> <li>the surgical approach and endoscopic procedures</li> <li>perioperative influences on body fluid homeostasis</li> <li>perioperative influences on immunological homeostasis and wound healing</li> <li>perioperative influences on cardiovascular homeostasis </li> <li>perioperative influences on respiratory homeostasis </li> <li>anaesthesia, stress and surgery</li> <li>pain and pain relief in the perioperative patient.</li>
</ul>
Generously illustrated in colour and black and white, the text features further learning activities and useful summaries of key points. It provides an important resource and supporting text for all nurses undertaking courses in theatre work or related areas or already working in such areas.

This book focuses on the homeostatic principles of human physiology and anatomy, discussing the influence of homeostatic control failure in producing some of the common illnesses that nurses and healthcare practitioners are likely to encounter during their careers.
