Features: The writing of "Clinical Physiology" reflects its scientific rigor, advanced nature, ideological depth, inspirational quality, and practicality, with particular emphasis on scientific accuracy and practicality. Considering the characteristics of adult learners—such as their advanced age, reduced memory capacity, but solid theoretical foundation and clinical experience, along with strong comprehension—the language is intentionally made accessible, facilitating self-study. Thought-provoking questions are provided at the end of each chapter, and a reference list is included at the end of the book, serving two purposes: first, to assist in self-assessment and self-learning; second, to cultivate students' ability to read and retrieve literature. During the writing process of "Clinical Physiology," special emphasis was placed on the connection between physiology and clinical practice, while simplifying some knowledge and theories that are too closely tied to clinical applications. While ensuring that the book covers no fewer key points than undergraduate textbooks, the description of complex experimental procedures was minimized to reduce. Each chapter features a "Clinical Correlations" section, helping students link physiological concepts to clinical phenomena, thereby sparking interest and enhancing their ability to apply physiological theory to analyze and solve clinical problems. "Clinical Physiology" is particularly suitable for adult education students advancing their undergraduate studies who have a systematic medical knowledge background and certain physiological foundations and clinical experience. It can also serve as a self-study textbook for healthcare professionals who have graduated from junior or senior high schools, enabling them to further their professional development.
