Preface:
Physiology is a dynamic discipline, and as new information and concepts emerge and our understanding evolves, the material we teach must also change. Physiology -I think- is the primary basic medical science. It is essential to pharmacology, the study of the effects of drugs on physiologic processes. It is essential to clinical science to understand pathophysiology of diseases. I hope that each student will realize that the study of physiology should continue throughout her or his career.
My main goal was to write a useful lecture notes which introduce the second year students about the main concepts of the physiology of the body fluids and blood. The structure and information of this textbook is suitable for second year physiology students and above.
