Human Physiology: Medical School Crash Course

By: AudioLearn Medical Content Team

Narrated by: Bhama Roget

AudioLearn's Medical School Crash Courses presents Human Physiology: Written by experts and authorities in the field and professionally narrated for easy listening, this crash course is a valuable tool both during school and when preparing for the USMLE, or if you're simply interested in the subject.

The audio is focused and high-yield, covering the most important topics you might expect to learn in a typical medical school human physiology course. Included are both capsule and detailed explanations of critical issues and topics you must know to master this topic.

The material is accurate, up to date, and broken down into bite-sized sections. There is a "Q&A" and "key takeaways" section following each topic to review questions commonly tested and drive home key points.

In this course, we'll cover the following topics:

• Basic cell processes
• Metabolic physiology
• Endocrine system physiology
• Central nervous system physiology
• Autonomic nervous system physiology
• Musculoskeletal physiology
• Cardiovascular system physiology
• Respiratory system physiology
• Immune system physiology
• Kidney physiology
• Digestive system physiology
• Reproductive system physiology
• Skeletal system
• Acid-base regulation

Also included is a comprehensive test containing the top 100 most commonly tested questions in human physiology with the correct answers.

AudioLearn's Medical School Crash Courses support your studies, help with USMLE preparation, and provide a comprehensive audio review of the topic matter for anyone interested in what medical students are taught in a typical medical school human physiology course.

Constant flow of info

This book was a good review of physiology and anatomy. If those subjects have not been previously studied, at least to some extent, I think a person might be lost and not get enough out of it.
The chapters are simply a presentation of information, with no story or prose. Each chapter ends with a quiz, which further reinforces info retention. The book ends with a long quiz of all info presented.
The text includes some anatomy, the systems of the body, potential illnesses and diseases, with (their old school ideas of) causes and solutions. Often it is stated that "the cause is unknown" or there is "no cure". The information seems to be based on traditional Western medicine, from several years ago. It does not include info from the tens of thousands of studies completed in the last few years. Science had made huge advances, or confirmed what was postulated many decades ago. That info is not yet taught in U.S. medical schools, and is not included here. For the most part, this text does not include the huge impact of nutrition and lifestyle upon health, although it does in some cases. This text does not discuss or acknowledge the impact of gut health and the importance of the microbiome upon all body systems and their components.
I will listen to this again at a later date, for it is a good, very straightforward review of physiology. I do recommend it, for that purpose. I do not recommend it as a stand alone physiology course.
I listened at 1.15x speed, which worked well for me.

é ótimo para escutar no ônibus e carro.

ótima maneira de otimizar o tempo e se relembrar de fisiologia.

Good for a long drive

This is a very good refresher. Please go back and fix several of the glitches in quizzes.

It mixes up afferent with efferent arterioles.

Thus far I like it, however there are some mistakes. Always cross reference to make sure you memorize correct information.

Monotone voice,

The narrator is speaking in monotone. I had a difficult time paying attention. I had to look for another book.
