This concise, illustrative atlas is organized by organ system and further subcategorized by major pathophysiologic conditions affecting particular organ systems. Its strength comes from the integration of Netters normal anatomy/physiology and pathophysiology illustrations with detailed, mechanism-of-action illustrations of pharmacologic concepts for a visual presentation of the very complex pharmacodynamic relationship between drugs and body. Divided by specific organ systems, each chapter shows how drugs are used for specific disorders of that system. The authors include clear, concise notes under each image, highlighting the important elements of each principle.
