Description
This illustrated book contains questions and answers in a logical way to aid the student in revising renal physiology. The questions on each page are related to a simplified figure to help the student visualise as he responds. Questions have been formulated to stimulate thinking rather than to test recall of facts. There is some repetition among the questions and this will serve to reinforce essential areas in renal function. Working through these figure-based questions will hopefully train the student to “filter” the wealth of information available in order to have a clear, uncluttered framework of nephron function. Also, the questions should guide him to “reabsorb” and retain key principles for a good working knowledge of how the kidneys perform so marvelously in the homeostasis of several aspects of the extracellular fluid space. This figure-based instruction (FBI) book will be useful for medical students as well as students learning Physiology in Pharmacy, Dental and Biomedical Programmes.
