This site is designed to enhance your studies of human physiology. Here you will find quizzes to reinforce the information in the text. The Problem Solving section of each chapter will help you gain a deeper appreciation of the remarkable functioning of the human body by taking you beyond the information in the text. Each chapter also includes a Destinations and a Surfing the Web area to unite the information in the text with current research and medical breakthroughs. Used in conjunction with the text, this web site will help to bring physiology to life for you.
