La preparazione biologica e medica dei tecnici avicoli richiede l’acquisizione di notizie sull’organizzazione strutturale e sui principali aspetti della fisiologia degli uccelli domestici, preliminare non solo allo studio della patologia e della clin...

This book covers a specific chapter of integrative physiology, which is usually neglected in physiology textbooks, and which has received little attention in the past as a dedicated subject of publication. Nice deep textbooks of altitude medicine or aviation and space medicine or diving medicine can be found, that cover the needs of highly specialised clinicians and investigators. However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the subject of human adaptation to special environments is proposed and treated in a comprehensive yet rigorous manner for the sake of a wider audience. The text acknowledges historical contributions, provides up-to-date information, describes separately basic and/or historical notions perhaps less treated than needed in classical textbooks, provides significant bibliographic material for a deeper study of the treated subjects, establishes continuous bridges between practice and physiological knowledge, and highlights special contributions from Italian investigators and institutions.

In questo volume sono descritti i fenomeni di trasporto della materia attraverso le membrane biologiche e i fenomeni elettrici e dell'eccitabilità cellulare, capitoli fondamentali per la comprensione delle funzioni più complesse, che spesso rappresen...

Il testo offre agli studenti un compatto strumento di riferimento per lo studio dei meccanismi alla base del funzionamento degli esseri viventi, in particolare nel regno animale.

This work was born of the intention to furnish students with a reference book for their study of the mechanisms underlying the functioning of living beings, in particular within the animal kingdom: the first volume concentrates mainly on the fundamental and unifying processes involved in numerous physiological phenomena, those - usually molecular and cellular - that constitute the basis of physiological functions that may even seem far removed from one another. The second volume deals with the physiology of systems.
The topics are covered first at molecular and then at cellular level, only then examining the interactions between the cells. The final area dealt with is that of the main organs and organ systems. As well as a basic core, which contains all the classic topics (dealt with rigorously but not in unnecessary detail), there are differentiated parts that can be used according to the areas that the reader needs to explore in greater depth.

This book is born of the authors’ many years of teaching and scientific experience. As a result of their undeniable expertise the contents of the book reflect the most advanced knowledge in the field of human physiology.
Divided into four main parts (Excitable tissues, Organ physiology, Interactions between organs and systems, Metabolism and the activity of muscles), the work stands out for its exhaustive content and rigorous approach, in which concepts of a more specialist nature are highlighted so as to distinguish them, as useful complementary material, from those that form the core of basic training in this subject. Completing this exhaustive work is a rich array of illustrations and diagrams in colour.

The warm reception given by students, lecturers and the scientific community to the first edition of  Medical Physiology (2005) proved to be a major incentive to make the book even more up-to-date, complete and  useful.
