Essentials of Medical Physiology (With Review of Medical Physiology) – 10th Edition is a comprehensive and extensively updated physiology textbook authored by Dr K. Sembulingam and Dr Prema Sembulingam. Recognised as one of the most trusted physiology books for medical education, this edition provides an in-depth understanding of normal human physiology while integrating important pathophysiological concepts relevant to clinical practice.

The book systematically covers general physiology, blood and body fluids, muscle physiology, gastrointestinal physiology, renal physiology, endocrinology, reproductive physiology, cardiovascular physiology, respiratory physiology, environmental physiology, nervous system physiology, and special senses. Organised into 11 sections and 174 chapters, it presents complex physiological concepts in a clear, concise, and student-friendly manner.

Special attention has been given to modern medical curriculum requirements, incorporating recent scientific developments and clinically relevant physiological principles. Numerous illustrations, flowcharts, tables, and boxed summaries simplify difficult topics and facilitate effective learning and revision.

The textbook also discusses important aspects of physiology related to ageing and pediatric populations, providing a broader clinical perspective. Topics such as the autonomic nervous system, physiology of sleep, visual processes, pupillary reflexes, proprioceptors, limbic system, and reticular formation are explained comprehensively to strengthen conceptual understanding.

Ideal for MBBS students, BDS students, nursing students, physiotherapy students, allied health science learners, and healthcare professionals, Essentials of Medical Physiology remains a valuable academic resource for mastering physiology and preparing for university examinations, entrance tests, and clinical practice.
