Textbook of Practical Physiology

For almost ten years, the Textbook of Practical Physiology has helped students acquire the knowledge and skills required to perform the investigations that form an intrinsic part of this subject. In the third edition, all the chapters have been thoroughly revised and the concepts updated. A new chapter on the spectral analysis of heart rate variability has been added. This is the first textbook in medicine to introduce this topic as a text for medical students. Apart from this, the feedback received from students and teachers has been given due importance and is reflected in this edition.
