Summary

Cellular Physiology of Nerve and Muscle, Third Edition offers an introduction to the basic physical and chemical principles underlying the functioning of neurons and muscle cells. The third edition of this popular text provides expanded coverage of molecular properties of ion channels and a more detailed description of neurotransmitter actions mediated via intracellular second messengers. The neural control of the heart is used as an example system in this expanded discussion.
Organized in three sections, the book combines clear descriptions of difficult concepts with a series of simplified models and schematic distillations of experimental results, tailored to illustrate a particular principle. The author has also substantially expanded and updated the list of suggested readings. This book is aimed at undergraduate and medical students taking courses in physiology, neuroscience, or medical physiology.
This new edition also introduces and fully discusses the actions of the autonomic nervous system.
