Download Netter’s Essential Physiology (2nd edition) by Susan E. Mulroney and Adam K. Myers.

Netter’s Essential Physiology (2nd Ed.) by Susan Mulroney and Adam Myers is a concise yet comprehensive guide to human physiology, blending scientific rigor with the visually engaging style of Frank H. Netter’s medical illustrations. Designed for students and healthcare professionals alike, this edition simplifies complex physiological concepts through clear explanations, vibrant diagrams, and clinical correlations.

With updated content reflecting the latest research and a focus on integrating physiology into clinical practice, it’s an indispensable resource for mastering the foundations of bodily functions in a visually captivating format.

According to the authors, “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 certain 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.

Recognizing that physiology, cell biology, and anatomy go hand in hand in the modern, integrated curriculum of many institutions, we have included more than the usual number of illustrations relevant to anatomy and histology. By reading the text, studying the illustrations, and taking advantage of the review questions, students will become familiar with the important concepts in each subdiscipline and gain the essential knowledge required for medical, dental, upper-level undergraduate, or nursing courses in human physiology.”
