Biomedical Science: Lecture Notes provides the truly core biomedical science material that medical students require. Corresponding broadly to the common integrative, systems-based approach taken by the majority of medical schools, it provides a concise, student-led approach that is rooted in clinical relevance.

This approach will also appeal to students on related courses such as dentistry, pharmacology and nursing. Written for by students for students, Biomedical Science: Lecture Notes provides: * A concise, full colour textbook * A 'one-stop-shop' for the biomedical sciences * Clinical relevance & cross referencing to develop interdisciplinary skills * Learning features - such as key definitions and mnemonics Designed predominantly for medical students, the book will also appeal to students studying on dentistry, pharmacology and nursing courses CONTENTS Preface Acknowledgements Abbreviations 1 Cell biology 2 Genetics 3 Biochemistry 4 Physiology 5 Pharmacology 6 Cardiovascular system 7 Respiratory system 8 Gastrointestinal system 9 Urinary system 10 Endocrinology 11 Integrative physiology 12 Reproduction 13 Embryology 14 Anatomy/musculoskeletal system 15 Immunology 16 Microbiology 17 Neuroscience 18 Medical statistics Index
