Dealing with comparative physiology with major focus on human physiology, this book stresses fundamental concepts to give a firm grounding in physiology.

Beginning with foundations of physiology, the book discusses physiologically important biomolecules, action of enzymes and role of vitamins and minerals. It then presents in a comprehensive manner the organ system physiology comprising digestive, respiratory, circulatory, excretory, nervous, muscular, endocrine and reproductive systems. The book also includes a chapter on homeostasis and environmental adaptations.
