About Book
Textbook of Human Anatomy and Physiology – II is a comprehensive guide designed to deepen understanding of human body systems. It begins with an in-depth look at the nervous system, exploring neurons, synapses, and neurotransmitters. The central nervous system section delves into brain structure, spinal cord functions, and reflex activity. In the digestive system, it details the anatomy and roles of major organs like the stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas. Processes like digestion, absorption, and related gastrointestinal disorders are clearly explained. The energetics chapter introduces ATP production and basal metabolic rate, emphasizing cellular energy dynamics. The respiratory system is presented with focus on lung anatomy, gas transport, and artificial respiration techniques. Anatomy and physiology of the urinary system, including nephrons and kidney functions, are thoroughly discussed.
It also explains the micturition reflex and kidney roles in pH regulation and the renin-angiotensin system. The endocrine system section offers detailed insights into hormone mechanisms and glandular disorders. Structures and functions of glands like the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and pancreas are carefully outlined. The roles of lesser-known glands like the pineal and thymus are also explored in depth. The reproductive system chapter covers both male and female anatomy, physiology, and reproductive cycles. It explains complex processes like menstruation, fertilization, pregnancy, and parturition. Key reproductive events like spermatogenesis and oogenesis are clearly illustrated. The book ends with a foundational introduction to genetics, touching on chromosomes and DNA. Concepts like protein synthesis and patterns of inheritance help bridge physiology with molecular biology. The language is student-friendly, supported with diagrams and clinical correlations.
Each system is explained functionally and structurally, reinforcing learning through physiological context. Ideal for students in health and life sciences, this book builds a strong base in human anatomy and physiology.
