The Speckmann reliably accompanies you through all physiology exams and assessments in medical studies and later serves as the ideal reference work in the clinic. The textbook is up to date with the latest scientific developments and presents the content with a focus on clinical relevance. It explains the important topics in medical studies in a particularly understandable way, highlights connections, and clarifies complex content with helpful illustrations. It provides an overview with an introductory text at the beginning of each chapter and a summary at the end. Additionally, it establishes a connection from the foundational subject of physiology to medical practice through cases and clinical boxes.
