Description and Table of Contents
Description
The Memorix series consists of easy-to-use pocket-sized books in a number of different medical and surgical specialities. They contain a vast amount of practical information in very concise form through the extensive use of tables and charts, lists and hundreds of clear line diagrams, often in two colours.
'Memorix Physiology' provides the essentials of the subject and will appeal to undergraduates and junior doctors as well as other health professionals. The book is presented in the usual, user-friendly Memorix style, but also contains over 200 illustrations in full colour for even greater clarity.
