"Essentials of Human Physiology for Pharmacy" by Laurie K. McCorry provides a foundation in human physiology specifically tailored for pharmacy students. The text emphasizes understanding how the body functions normally as a critical prerequisite for studying how drugs affect those systems (pharmacology) and how to treat diseases (pharmacotherapeutics). McCorry starts with the building blocks, explaining cell physiology with a focus on nerve function, then dives into the major regulatory systems – the nervous and endocrine systems. Subsequent chapters detail other key physiological systems like the cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive systems. This focus on normal function equips pharmacy students with the knowledge needed to comprehend how drugs interact with the body in both healthy and diseased states.
