In new CBME program, competency map has been provided by NMC for each subject. Competency map in the tabular format with reference to chapter and page number and citation of competency code inside the relevant places in text, have been provided in this new edition. Clinical application and applied aspects have been made more updated and revised. More numbers of ÔøΩClinical NotesÔøΩ and ÔøΩImportant NotesÔøΩ have been added to this edition, to make the student understand the physiological basis of clinical applications in medicine. New topics of Physiology of Stress, Physiology of Yoga and Meditation, Brain Death, Glucose Homeostasis and Pathophysiology of Diabetes and Body Fluid Volume Homeostasis, and Clinical Case Scenarios have been added to this edition. Physiology is a rapidly advancing subject. All major concepts and advances in physiology have been thoroughly incorporated in the text. The presentation of the texts, especially to explain key concepts have been made more structured with more point-wise (bulleted) description. Multiple choice questions (MCQs) that are part of all kinds of assessments have been thoroughly reviewed and new clinical-based and application-based MCQs have been added in this new edition. ...
ÔøΩ A unique textbook of physiology as it introduces each topic with Learning Objectives divided into Must Know and Desirable to Know categories. ÔøΩ Applied aspects are highlighted in Application Box and the patient- and disease-related concepts are highlighted in Clinical Box. ÔøΩ Important and useful facts are emphasized as Important Note(s). ÔøΩ All important and complex information are structured and presented in a bulleted and point-wise format to make easy grasp of the topics and not to miss any of the relevant points. ÔøΩ All the major concepts are simplified and summarized in the Flowcharts. ÔøΩ All relevant and significant mechanisms are described with the help of easily drawable schematic diagrams and graphs. ÔøΩ Important data and information are presented in a structured tabular format. ÔøΩ All cellular and molecular mechanisms are supplemented with appropriate histological pictures. ÔøΩ Substantial contribution of great scientists in the concerned field has been recognized as Scientists Contributed, which will be inspiring to all the budding physiologists. ÔøΩ All topics end with a Chapter Summary having two parts: Key Concepts depicting central theme and Must Read/Know depicting all probable Long and Short Questions and Viva Questions for final exams. ÔøΩ Multiple choice questions are given at the end of each chapter that will help in preparing for objective type tests, quiz competition, and PG Entrance/NEET Exams. ÔøΩ All systems and topics have been thoroughly revised and updated with addition of 23 new chapters, mainly to accommodate more applied and clinical topics, based on the new curriculum of NMC, 2019 and to facilitate early clinical exposure. ÔøΩ Early Clinical Exposure in Physiology has been described at the end as a separate chapter. ÔøΩ Thus, this is a Comprehensive Textbook that has incorporated all the requirements of a medical student imparting knowledge and skill in the subject, acquiring all the ingredients needed to write the examination, and kindling the aspiration to progress in the profession.
