What is the best book to review physiology ?
i have ( guyton and hall textbook ) which is good but i don't have that time to study it all ...

BRS Physio is awesome.

BRS Physio is awesome.

Thanks 🙂

Except BRS Physio doesn't touch Blood physiology, I believe. Just an FYI.

If you mean hemodynamics, that stuff's covered in the CV section. If you mean the clotting cascade, yea that's not in Costanzo. I never fully learned the clotting cascade till M2 year and I'm not sure if that's the same everywhere else. If people are learning it during M1 year, they can supplement it with whatever they find on the internet. There are some good, easy ways to remember the clotting cascade -- I remember finding one on SDN a couple of years ago in the Step 1 forums where you draw the cascade out like the shape of a gun. I still use that, but Pathoma has a pretty simple way to remember it too (essentially the same as the gun thing).

Hemodynamics is definitely CVS. Yes, had to memorize the clotting cascade pathways and synonyms for the clotting factors. I'm also curious how other schools teach blood. Meaning, erythrocytes, anemia, leukocytes, leukopenias, leukemias, thrombocytes, hemostasis (clotting cascade), blood types/transfusions/transplant reactions. Though I suppose a lot of that easily transitions into immunology. We covered it as part of physiology, even though I imagine we'll cover it again in pathology.

We had to learn some of the basics of RBC physiology in biochemistry during M1 year (mainly relating to Hb and the basics of anemias). Basic immunology also covered WBC types, what WBCs respond to what types of infections, etc. Everything else (read: clinically relevant), though, was M2 year material covered in path. Personally, I think I wouldn't have been able to appreciate anemias, the relevance of leukocytosis/leukopenia, transfusion reactions, etc, without having a solid foundation in basic pathology, which my school didn't cover till M2 year. That's just my opinion, though.

Edit: Just remembered that the clotting cascade was actually covered in our M1 year biochem class. Didn't appreciate it's relevance till M2 year, though.

Clotting stuff is covered in biochem here as well. Basically, if physics/math are used to explain/introduce it, then it's reserved for physio. Clotting ain't got none of that.

Yeah, constanza either the big one or BRS.

Agree c above.
