Pathopharmacology, 2nd Edition (Original PDF from Publisher)

By Bruce Colbert and Kurtis Pierce

Colbert/Pierce’s PATHOPHARMACOLOGY, Second Edition, moves beyond rote memorization to help you deeply understand and retain pharmacology and pathophysiology concepts for lasting professional success. Its engaging writing style simplifies complex topics, making them accessible, while real-world clinical connections emphasize the relevance and interconnectedness of the material. The text incorporates analogies and learning hints throughout, such as the Chapter 13 snarling dog analogy, which vividly illustrates sympathetic nervous system responses. This narrative shows how stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system causes pupil dilation for better vision, and increased heart rate and breathing to oxygenate muscles for fight or flight, making autonomic responses easier to grasp than memorizing lists.
