- Summary:
- The human body is made up of trillions of cells, each of which requires access to nutrients to survive. These include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. These nutrients provide energy for metabolic processes and the building blocks for cell growth and repair, and they exist within the food we eat. This essential guide to the gastrointestinal system will enable nurses and allied health professionals to apply principles of anatomy and physiology to clinical practice. Taking a practical and evidence-based approach, each chapter explores associated anatomy, function, abnormalities and diseases. The accessible writing style and full colour illustrations make this an ideal introduction for students and professionals new to gastrointestinal care. Book jacket.
