Features: The writing of Clinical Physiology reflects its scientific rigor, advanced concepts, thoughtfulness, inspirational nature, and practicality, with particular emphasis on scientific accuracy and practicality. Considering the characteristics of adult education students—such as their older age, reduced memory capacity, but solid theoretical knowledge and clinical experience, along with strong comprehension abilities—the language is designed to be as accessible as possible, facilitating self-study. Each chapter includes review questions, and the book concludes with references, which serve two purposes: enabling self-assessment and self-study, as well as cultivating students' abilities 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 downplaying knowledge and theories that are too closely tied to clinical applications. While ensuring that the book covers no fewer key points than undergraduate textbooks, it minimizes the description of complex experimental procedures to reduce. Each chapter features a "Clinical Correlations" section, helping students link physiological concepts to clinical phenomena, thereby stimulating interest and enhancing their ability to apply physiological theory to analyze and solve clinical problems. Clinical Physiology is particularly suitable for adult education students who have systematically studied medical knowledge, possess a solid foundation in physiology, and have clinical experience. It can also serve as a self-study guide for healthcare professionals with diplomas from universities or vocational schools seeking professional advancement.
