Summary:

Endocrine and Reproductive Physiology, a volume in the Mosby Physiology Monograph Series, explains the fundamentals of endocrine and reproductive physiology in a clear and concise manner. This medical textbook gives you a basic understanding of how endocrine and metabolic physiology affects other body systems in health and disease, including the clinical dimensions of reproductive endocrinology. Bridge the gap between normal function and disease with pathophysiology content throughout the book. Easily master the material in your systems-based curriculum with learning objectives, Clinical Concept boxes, chapter summaries, and self-study questions. Understand complex concepts by examining almost 200 clear, 2-color diagrams. Apply what you've learned to real-life clinical situations using featured clinical commentaries.
