Human Anatomy & Physiology

About this book

Human Anatomy & Physiology (HAP) is the biggest and most foundational paper of D.Pharma First Year, and this textbook is written to make the whole subject clear and manageable. Written strictly as per the PCI Education Regulation 2020 (ER20-14T), it follows the official syllabus chapter by chapter, so what you study is exactly what your university examines.

The book begins with the scope of anatomy and physiology, the structure of the cell and the four tissue types, then works systematically through every system of the body: the osseous (skeletal) system and joints; the haemopoietic system (blood composition, hemopoiesis, RBCs/WBCs/platelets, clotting and blood groups); the lymphatic, cardiovascular (heart, circulation, cardiac cycle, ECG basics, blood pressure), respiratory, and digestive systems; skeletal muscles; the nervous system (brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, autonomic nervous system); the sense organs (eye, ear, skin, tongue, nose); and the urinary, endocrine (hormones) and reproductive systems. Each system is presented by structure and physiology together with the disorders commonly asked in exams.

Explanations are kept in simple, clear English so first-year students can build a solid understanding of the human body, and at a full 360 pages the book gives HAP the depth it needs while staying readable.

Authored by Dr. Narendra Silawat (PhD, M.Pharm in Pharmacology; Professor, Oriental College of Pharmacy, Oriental University, Indore) and published by Shree Sai Prakashan, Meerut. Suitable for D.Pharma First Year students at every PCI-approved institute across India.
