Knowledge and best practice in this field are constantly changing. As new research and experience broaden our understanding, changes in research methods, professional practices, or medical treatment may become necessary.

Practitioners and researchers must always rely on their own experience and knowledge in evaluating and using any information, methods, compounds, or experiments described herein. In using such information or methods they should be mindful of their own safety and the safety of others, including parties for whom they have a professional responsibility.

We dedicate this book to our families, for their love and support. We dedicate it also to the students of Georgetown University, who are exceptional in their character and their love of learning.

Human physiology is the study of the functions of our bodies at all levels: whole organism, systems, organs, tissues, cells, and physical and chemical processes. Physiology is a complex science, incorporating concepts and principles from biology, chemistry, biochemistry, and physics; often, a true appreciation of physiological concepts requires multiple learning modalities, beyond standard texts or lectures. This second edition of Netter's Essential Physiology has been prepared with this in mind. Its generous illustrations and concise, bulleted, and highlighted text are designed to draw the student in and to focus the student's efforts on understanding the essential aspects of difficult concepts. It is not intended to be a detailed reference book, but rather a guide to learning the essentials of the field, in conjunction with classroom work and other resources when necessary.

This book is organized in the classical order in which subdisciplines of physiology are taught. Beginning with fluid compartments, transport mechanisms, and cell physiology, it progresses through neurophysiology, cardiovascular physiology, the respiratory system, renal physiology, the gastrointestinal system, and endocrinology. It is ideal for the visual learner. Each section is thoroughly illustrated with the great drawings of the late Frank Netter as well as the more recent, beautiful work of Carlos Machado, John Craig, James Perkins, and Tiffany DaVanzo.

In this second edition, we have expanded some content and clarified some areas based on feedback from students and teachers over the past several years. In addition to updating information, we have added a number of clinical correlates to help reinforce the material and provide pathophysiological context. To complement the cardiovascular section, we have added a new chapter, The Blood, which includes the important topics of hemostasis and blood coagulation. The changes and additions in this edition are also incorporated into the second edition of Netter's Physiology Flash Cards .
