Preface
The first edition of the Textbook of Medical Physiology
was written by Arthur C. Guyton almost 55 years ago.
Unlike most major medical textbooks, which often have
20 or more authors, the first eight editions of the Textbook
of Medical Physiology were written entirely by Dr. Guyton,
with each new edition arriving on schedule for nearly 40
years. The Textbook of Medical Physiology, first published
in 1956, quickly became the best-selling medical physiology textbook in the world. Dr. Guyton had a gift for
communicating complex ideas in a clear and interesting
manner that made studying physiology fun. He wrote the
book to help students learn physiology, not to impress his
professional colleagues.
I worked closely with Dr. Guyton for almost 30 years
and had the privilege of writing parts of the 9th and 10th
editions. After Dr. Guytons tragic death in an automobile
accident in 2003, I assumed responsibility for completing
the 11th edition.
For the 12th edition of the Textbook of Medical
Physiology, I have the same goal as for previous editions
to explain, in language easily understood by students, how
the different cells, tissues, and organs of the human body
work together to maintain life.
This task has been challenging and fun because our
rapidly increasing knowledge of physiology continues to
unravel new mysteries of body functions. Advances in
molecular and cellular physiology have made it possible to explain many physiology principles in the terminology of molecular and physical sciences rather than
in merely a series of separate and unexplained biological
phenomena.
The Textbook of Medical Physiology, however, is not
a reference book that attempts to provide a compendium of the most recent advances in physiology. This is
a book that continues the tradition of being written for
students. It focuses on the basic principles of physiology needed to begin a career in the health care professions, such as medicine, dentistry and nursing, as well
as graduate studies in the biological and health sciences.
It should also be useful to physicians and health care
professionals who wish to review the basic principles
needed for understanding the pathophysiology of
human disease.
I have attempted to maintain the same unified organization of the text that has been useful to students in
the past and to ensure that the book is comprehensive
enough that students will continue to use it during their
professional careers.
My hope is that this textbook conveys the majesty of
the human body and its many functions and that it stimulates students to study physiology throughout their
careers. Physiology is the link between the basic sciences
and medicine. The great beauty of physiology is that it
integrates the individual functions of all the bodys different cells, tissues, and organs into a functional whole, the
human body. Indeed, the human body is much more than
the sum of its parts, and life relies upon this total function,
not just on the function of individual body parts in isolation from the others.
This brings us to an important question: How are the
separate organs and systems coordinated to maintain
proper function of the entire body? Fortunately, our bodies are endowed with a vast network of feedback controls that achieve the necessary balances without which
we would be unable to live. Physiologists call this high
level of internal bodily control homeostasis. In disease
states, functional balances are often seriously disturbed
and homeostasis is impaired. When even a single disturbance reaches a limit, the whole body can no longer live.
One of the goals of this text, therefore, is to emphasize the
effectiveness and beauty of the bodys homeostasis mechanisms as well as to present their abnormal functions in
disease.
Another objective is to be as accurate as possible.
Suggestions and critiques from many students, physiologists, and clinicians throughout the world have been
sought and then used to check factual accuracy as well as
balance in the text. Even so, because of the likelihood of
error in sorting through many thousands of bits of information, I wish to issue a further request to all readers to
send along notations of error or inaccuracy. Physiologists
understand the importance of feedback for proper function of the human body; so, too, is feedback important for
progressive improvement of a textbook of physiology. To
the many persons who have already helped, I express sincere thanks.
