I completed my PhD in airways smooth muscle pharmacology at the Victoria University of Manchester in 1998. This was followed by 4 years as a British Heart Foundation-funded post-doc, studying the effects of VEGF on the permeability of the microcirculation (at Leicester, UC Davis (USA) and then Bristol). From 2002-4, I went to Zambia on a Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO) placement, where I taught Biology in a rural secondary school. I returned to the University of Manchester in 2004 as a Teaching Fellow in the Faculty of Life Sciences.
I am a programme director for the Biomedical Sciences degree programme, academic lead for the Year 1 Personal Excellence Pathway (PEP) and co-lead for Year 1 and 2 OSCEs. I also coordinate a first year human physiology practical unit and a second year research skills module (RSM). Since 2004, I have been a regular PBL tutor for Year 1 and 2 medical students and a tutor for nursing students, delivered human physiology practical classes for medical, pharmacy, nursing and life sciences students and have been an academic and personal advisor to students on the Biomedical Sciences, Physiology and Pharmacology degree programmes. I have lectured in many areas of Pharmacology and Physiology to various cohorts of students. I supervise final year project students (particularly those with an interest in exercise physiology).
I have previously held the role of Field Course director for the old Faculty of Life Sciences, and on four occasions took students to South Africa to study animal behaviour. I was also made an honorary EBL fellow by the Centre of Excellence for Enquiry Based Learning (CEEBL).

The new edition of Award-winning author and educator Dee Silverthorn's Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach builds upon the book's thorough coverage of integrative and molecular physiology topics to give you a solid foundation of understanding for your education, career, or general knowledge. Every piece of art has been revised so that figures and diagrams are clearer, making it easier to understand complex physiological systems. A comprehensive, integrated approach including basic cell processes, homeostasis & control, integration of function, and metabolism, growth, & aging. For college instructors, students, people in the nursing/allied health field, or anyone interested in human anatomy.
An introductory level text for first and second year students in human or animal physiology. The text focuses on developing students' skills by helping them connect facts and concepts and apply them to real-world situations. Included are illustrations of physiological processes.
Intended for health science students, this textbook emphasizes broad concepts and their application to specific problems (as opposed to presenting excessive detail and encouraging rote memorization). Chapters are grouped by biological system, with additional chapters covering cellular physiology and temperature regulation and exercise.
This review and study guide is designed for medical students who are using the Second Edition of Johnson's Essential Medical Physiology in their course work. The review book contains 1,000 questions based on the text, plus answers and discussions. Also included are 62 illustrative drawings, most of them selected from the text. Other user-friendly features include detailed outlines of the chapters of the text and boxed displays containing hot topics or key facts statements.Used in conjunction with Essential Medical Physiology, this review book will stimulate deeper engagement with the text, serve as a guide to key points, and refresh the student's memory before an exam.
Extensively illustrated...a very useful text...definitely recommended for rapid revision before finals as well as for laying one's foundations throughout the course. Worth buying." Cambridge Medicine, Addenbrooke's Clinical Medical School "..a concise, yet complete, textbook on general physiology..an excellent reference for clinicians wanting general information on physiology that is concise and easy to use" Physical Therapy on the 3rd edition "The text is fluent, easy to absorb and most important written very concisely. The style makes it easy to pick out relevant information.
The fourth edition of NMS Physiology , a well respected and heavily used text, is written in an outline format useful to medical students who require a physiology course review and a comprehensive study tool for USMLE preparation. This one-volume, portable text contains 300 USMLE-style questions with answers and explanations. New to the edition are more questions, updated case studies in clinical decision making, concise outlines, and expanded diagrams. Sections devoted to endocrinology, acid-base, and pathophysiology also are especially helpful to students.
This is a colourful, highly illustrated textbook of human physiology aimed at medical students. Organized by systems in the traditional approach used by many physiology texts, the book also offers additional features; the text is succinct, with emphasis on core knowledge, there are clinical application boxes throughout, and each section contains examples of applied physiology to show how systems interact and are dependent on each other. There are multiple choice questions (MCQs) with answers at the end of each section.
The human body is a complicated and beautiful machine, governed by the laws of physics and chemistry. By understanding its physiology - how it performs its varied functions - it is possible to build strategies for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
In this latest edition, expanded and restructured coverage of sensory physiology and the respiratory system, a new comprehensive glossary of key terms, and additional online learning resources make Human Physiology even more student-friendly than its predecessors.
Human Physiology provides clear explanations of the principles that govern the body's physiological processes and shows how these can be applied. This is the ideal course companion for any student needing a solid foundation in the subject for a future career in human biology, biomedical science, or medicine.

"This welcomed fourth edition builds upon the positive aspects of previous editions and provides a fresh perspective to a complex area of study. Ease of reading and understanding is a key strength for this text and students will obtain detailed content, balanced with key effective learning tools to enhance knowledge exchange." - Dr Jamie O'Driscoll, Department of Sport Science, Tourism and Leisure, Canterbury Christ Church University
The central nervous system branches into the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system entails the sensory division that brings information to the brain, and the motor division that sends information from the brain to the body. The sensory division can be referred to as the afferent division, and the motor division can be referred to as the efferent division.
The motor division is divided into the somatic system and autonomic system. The somatic nervous system controls body functions that are voluntary. Voluntary means we have conscious control over functions such as skeletal muscles, sight and hearing. The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary body responses like the heart, lungs and digestion.
