Synopsis

This new paperback from Pip Flowers combines and updates information from books 2 and 3 of the Basic Introductions e-book series. In it you will find a wealth of information in a very easy to read style. Beginning with a close look at digestive processes in various animals, the book focuses on human digestion. Processes of monosaccharide and fat uptake are explained and sodium pumping in the ileum is made clear. The book then follows the fate of sugars as they reach the liver. Blood sugar homeostasis is comprehensively described. Three types of diabetes are introduced as well as considering how some of the modern diabetes treatments actually work. The story continues by detailing the work of the kidneys in osmoregulation and the disposal of wastes. You discover the amazing interactions between the kidneys, hypothalamus and ADH in regulating water levels in the body. Later sections introduce the regulation of blood cells by the kidneys, the buffering functions of the renal tubules and the regulation of blood pressure. The book will be indispensable to anyone studying or about to study biology at Levels 3 or 4.
