This textbook from Wolters Kluwer is an English medium (अंग्रेजी माध्यम) book on Medical Physiology, written by D Venkatesh and HH Sudhakar, prepared for MBBS and other undergraduate medical students as per the competency-based curriculum, and also useful for BDS, nursing, physiotherapy and allied health science courses. This Fifth Edition presents physiology system by system in concise, exam-oriented language, taking the student from basic mechanisms to applied and clinical physiology (अनुप्रयुक्त शरीर क्रिया विज्ञान) so that each concept is followed by the disorder it explains. The book covers general and cell physiology with membrane transport, body fluids, blood and immunity, nerve and muscle physiology, the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, the gastrointestinal system, renal physiology and acid-base balance (अम्ल-क्षार संतुलन), endocrinology, reproductive physiology, the central and autonomic nervous systems, special senses and integrated physiology including exercise, temperature regulation and high-altitude physiology. Its distinguishing feature is the emphasis on clarity for the beginner — short paragraphs, colour illustrations, flowcharts and summary tables that carry the reasoning — supported by clinical correlation notes, chapter-end questions and MCQs, along with e-content available online at the publisher's platform. All content, terminology and explanations in this book are presented in the English language only.
