Description
Essentials of Physiology: Blood, Body Fluids and Lymphatic’s by Dr. Sangeeta Abhay Patil is a concise, student-friendly learning resource designed to make essential concepts of human physiology easier to understand. The book presents important physiological principles in a systematic sequence, making it useful for classroom learning, conceptual study, revision, and examination preparation.
The book begins with the fundamentals of human physiology, including levels of body organization, cells, tissues, homeostasis, and basic chemistry. It then develops a focused understanding of the circulatory and blood-related systems. Key topics include blood vessels, composition and functions of blood, blood volume, viscosity, bone marrow, plasma proteins, red blood cells, haemoglobin, anemia, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, white blood cells, platelets, blood groups, haemostasis, and blood coagulation.
The later chapters introduce immunity, body fluids, osmosis, and the lymphatic system, helping learners connect fluid balance, immune defense, and lymphatic circulation with broader physiological processes. The book also includes clinically relevant concepts, such as the role of bone marrow in blood-cell production and diagnostic procedures, as well as the physiological importance of lymphatic drainage.
With its emphasis on essential information and simplified presentation, this book is particularly suited to first-year Homoeopathic students and learners seeking a practical foundation in physiology.
