The Systems of the Body
series has established itself as a highly valuable resource for medical
and other health science students following today’s systems-based
courses. Now thoroughly revised and updated in this third edition, each
volume presents the core knowledge of basic science and clinical
conditions that medical students need, providing a concise, fully
integrated view of each major body system that can be hard to find in
more traditionally arranged textbooks or other resources. Multiple case
studies help relate key principles to current practice, with links to
clinical skills, clinical investigation and therapeutics made clear
throughout.

Each (print) volume also now comes with
access to the complete, enhanced eBook version, offering easy anytime,
anywhere access - as well as self-assessment material to check your
understanding and aid exam preparation.

The
Endocrine System provides highly accessible coverage of the core basic
science principles in the context of clinical case histories, giving the
reader a fully integrated understanding of the system and its major
diseases.
