Medical Physiology, 2e Updated Edition: with STUDENT CONSULT Online Access (MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY (BORON)) Kindle Edition
Author: Walter F. Boron ID: B0082VPAI6
“This new updated is perfect for students starting out in physiology and for those wanting to extend their knowledge further. I have enjoyed using this book for my medical science studies. It is written clearly and is well organised. Cascading biological events in the body systems are explained brilliantly and extensive illustrations support the text…Overall, this is a tremendousresource to assist with learning and I recommend it particularly to those having difficulties with any aspect of physiology.” Nursing Standard, February 2013
Done.

While in my first year of medical school, I have gone to the library and tried out the most popular physiology books. Guyton and Hall and Berne and Levy left much to be desired. The Lange Review is more of a review and simply doesn’t teach things. There were concepts that I just didn’t understand in these books that the authors assume a medical student should have as pre-req knowledge.
An example is a concept that relies a lot on physics (NOT one of my strengths!) Surfactant and surface tension. When I opened up Boron, it explained in detail with FOUR pictures… and A-ha! I understood in 5 minutes what had taken ages of confusion in Berne and Levy.
So, if you learn visually, need pictures and would like a bit more explanation and teaching in your physiology book, Boron is the textbook for you!
Yes, it does go deep into detail that is beyond what I will need during first year… but I just skim over those areas and focus on the parts that are most critical. It is so well-written that it is truly a joy to read! The authors are excellent teachers and have made many complicated subjects understandable.
A hint to Beginners: As I am a beginner in physiology, I MUST start a body system by reading the introduction chapter. For example, I read the intro to cardiovascular system before jumping into how the heart pumping mechanism works… But as long as I read the intro chapter and have a decent grasp on the organs involved, I can hop right into the physiology on my next read.
Medical Physiology inspires me to keep reading and keep learning. There are clinical examples, good referencing to topics previously discussed, and an extra plus, I can download ALL the diagrams and text from the studentconsult website!
Like many first-year medical students, I’ve done a lot of research into figuring out which books to buy for specific subjects. Most of the time, class notes can be simply supplemented with a well-written USMLE-style review book. However, some very broad and important subjects (such as physiology) need much more than that… you NEED a good grounding in physiology to succeed as a physician or other medical professional.
That being said, I had already purchased a couple physiology books: Costanzo (4th edition) for class and BRS Physiology (also written by Costanzo) to review for the boards next year. However, as the class lectures went on, I found myself realizing how much isn’t covered in these books – and with good reason; many class details simply aren’t "high yield" material. However, if you really want to learn more about the "how and why" to build a better foundation, you need to buy a comprehensive physiology textbook as a reference.
I narrowed it down to three books, all of which I think are very good for medical students and professionals: Berne and Levy, Guyton and Hall, and Boron and Boulpaep. I was able to borrow a friend’s Guyton and Hall… and while I think it’s an amazing feat that Guyton himself completely wrote the first few editions of the book, it was clear that some sections were more fluid than others (cardiovascular was very strong). In addition, it felt more like a dictation than a textbook: tons of details and snippets of information, but the text seemed more dry and figures weren’t nearly as clear, plentiful, or colorful. I also took a short look at Berne and Levy: a great book with lots of details as well…
