Physiology is the subject that decides whether the rest of medicine makes sense. Get it properly and pharmacology, pathology and clinical medicine arrive as consequences of something you already understand. Get it as a set of memorised graphs and every later subject becomes memorisation too.
Khurana's Medical Physiology for Undergraduate Students has become one of the standard choices for first-year students because it is written at the level of someone meeting the material for the first time, with the illustrations doing real explanatory work rather than decorating the page. This fourth edition comes as a two-volume set.
New in This Edition
• Thoroughly revised and aligned with the NMC-mandated 2024 Revised CBME Curriculum
• A new chapter on the Physiology of Yoga
• Chapter-wise self assessment and MCQs throughout
• High-quality illustrations built to clarify the concepts students most often get stuck on
What This Book Covers
The text is arranged in twelve sections across two volumes, covering the undergraduate medical physiology syllabus in full — from cell and general physiology through each organ system to neurophysiology and the special senses.
Key Features
• Two-volume format, so you carry the half you are working through rather than the whole year
• MCQs and self-assessment at the end of each chapter — the single feature that converts reading into revision, because you find out what you actually absorbed before the exam does
• Illustrations drawn to explain rather than to fill space
• Written in plain language aimed at first-time readers
• Updated to a current, revised curriculum rather than carried forward unchanged
• A dedicated chapter on the physiology of yoga, an area most physiology texts leave out entirely
Who Is This Book For?
• MBBS students, particularly in first year
• BDS and dental students
• Physiotherapy, nursing and allied health sciences students
• Students revising physiology for professional or entrance examinations
• Anyone returning to physiology before a postgraduate entrance exam
The book is written to the Indian CBME/NMC curriculum. Physiology itself does not change across borders, and the content is the standard undergraduate syllabus, so it maps closely onto what is taught in Pakistani medical colleges.
