Gastrointestinal Anatomy and Physiology The Essentials
Coordonnateurs : Reinus John F., Simon Douglas
Gastrointestinal Anatomy and Physiology will bring together the world?s leading names to present a comprehensive overview of the anatomical and physiological features of the gastrointestinal tract.
Full colour and with excellent anatomical and clinical figures throughout, it will provide succinct, authoritative and didactic anatomic and physiologic information on all the key areas, including GI motility, hepatic structure, GI hormones, gastric secretion and absorption of nutrients.
GI trainees will enjoy the self-assessment MCQs, written to the level they will encounter during their Board exams, and the seasoned gastroenterologist will value it as a handy reference book and refresher for re-certification exams
