Part SECTION I: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE HUMAN BODY -- chapter 1 Introduction to physiology and homeostasis -- chapter 2 Cell and tissue functions -- chapter 3 The skeleton -- part SECTION II: THE NEED FOR REGULATION -- chapter 4 Chemical reactions in cells: Fundamentals of metabolism -- chapter 5 Nutrients and nutrition -- chapter 6 Body fluids -- part SECTION III: SENSING CHANGE AND COORDINATING RESPONSES -- chapter 7 The senses -- chapter 8 The nervous system -- chapter 9 The endocrine system -- part SECTION IV: EFFECTORS OF HOMEOSTASIS -- chapter 10 The digestive system -- chapter 11 The cardiovascular system 1: Blood -- chapter 12 The cardiovascular system 2: Heart and circulation -- chapter 13 The lymphatic system, immunity and microbiology -- chapter 14 The respiratory system -- chapter 15 The kidneys and urinary tract -- chapter 16 The skin -- chapter 17 Skeletal muscle: Posture and movement -- chapter 18 The reproductive systems -- part SECTION V: INFLUENCES ON HOMEOSTASIS -- chapter 19 Genes in embryo development and ageing -- chapter 20 Pain -- chapter 21 Stress -- chapter 22 Circadian rhythms.
The third edition of Physiology and Anatomy for Nurses and Healthcare Practitioners: A homeostatic approach presents homeostasis as a dynamic concept that provides the basis for understanding health and well-being. It recognises how failure to respond to homeostatic disturbances results in imbalances responsible for signs and symptoms of ill-health, and describes how healthcare interventions seek to reverse those imbalances.
