This textbook from PV Books (Pee Vee) is an English medium (अंग्रेजी माध्यम) book on Applied Physiology, written by Dr. S.S. Randhawa, exclusively designed as per the B.Sc Nursing First Semester new syllabus approved by the Indian Nursing Council (INC), New Delhi, and also useful for GNM, post-basic B.Sc nursing, physiotherapy and other allied health science students. Brought out as a multi-colour edition, the book explains each body system in simple language suited to a first-semester student and keeps the treatment applied throughout — normal function is followed by what goes wrong when it fails and by the nursing and clinical relevance of that change (क्लिनिकल सह-संबंध), which is what the applied physiology component of the nursing course demands. The book covers general and cell physiology with membrane transport and body fluids, the blood and immunity, nerve and muscle physiology, the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, the digestive system, the excretory and urinary system with fluid, electrolyte and acid-base balance (अम्ल-क्षार संतुलन), the endocrine system, the reproductive system, the nervous system with the sense organs, and the skin with body temperature regulation. Its distinguishing feature is the syllabus-matched arrangement in full colour — chapters follow the INC unit order so the student can prepare directly from the prescribed course, supported by multi-colour illustrations, flowcharts, summary tables and chapter-end questions for revision. All content, terminology and explanations in this book are presented in the English language only.
