SELECTED ASPECTS OF ANIMAL AND HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY, PART 1

For years, there has been a lack of a well-prepared exercise book in the field of animal and human physiology. This publication fills this gap, offering students solid support in understanding the complex processes occurring in living organisms. Regardless of the field of study – biology, veterinary medicine, animal science or related fields – this textbook is a valuable source of knowledge and inspiration.

• Practical approach to exercises in animal physiology
• Short introductions arousing interest in the subject matter
• Carefully prepared drawings facilitating the understanding of experimental principles
• Photos of equipment from the equipment of the exercise room
• Understandable drawings of processes occurring in the body
• Review by Dr. habil. Małgorzata Kapica confirming the high quality of the elaboration

This textbook combines the description of experiments carried out as part of exercises with a short introduction, the content of which is intended to arouse the student's interest in the discussed issues. A great advantage of the publication is its graphic design. The drawings have been prepared very carefully and contain photos of equipment from the equipment of the exercise room. The greatest advantage of the graphic part of the textbook are the drawings facilitating the understanding of experimental principles, such as the study of erythrocyte resistance, agglutination of blood cells when determining blood groups, the placement of electrodes during electrocardiography, the determination of the electrical axis of the heart, the place where heart sounds are auscultated, and the main points of the valves.

The drawings help to understand some processes occurring in the body, such as the activation of the immune response, the principle of serological conflict in the fetus, the action potential of cardiomyocytes of the heart muscle, and the regulation of the breathing process. The book is a very good elaboration of the presented issues in the field of physiology and will be a valuable source of knowledge for students. It contains 107 pages, has a format of 238x170 mm and is published in paperback by UMCS Publishing House in 2025.

According to the review by Dr. habil. Małgorzata Kapica, this textbook is a very good elaboration of the presented issues in the field of physiology and will be a valuable source of knowledge for students. It is a must-read for every student of biological and medical fields who wants to explore the secrets of animal and human physiology.
